Fred Gallagher
Right Fielder | Sask Yellow Jackets
Hitting Gallagher never has been a patient hitter. Don't be surprised if The Sask Yellow Jackets's manager sits Gallagher when you throw your ace lefty. For some reason, he just can't figure out the southpaw. He rarely pulls pitches, preferring to shoot line drives to left-center. It's hard to explain but Fred Gallagher plays much better on the road then he does at home. It's unfortunate too, with Gallagher signing a hefty contract. You gotta imagine management wants a little better relationship between him and the fans.
Baserunning & Defense Gallagher isn't a fluid right fielder, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. Fred's arm leaves a little to be a desired. Gallagher doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a handful of bases each season without getting caught very often.
2025 Outlook I can't say I know what The Sask Yellow Jackets were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. AA isn't the right place for Gallagher. Expect the Sask Yellow Jackets to send him down for some minor retooling.
