Dean Gantz  
First Baseman | Regina Pirates

Hitting
He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. The Regina Pirates do tend to sit Gantz when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball. You can expect Dean Gantz to pull the ball.

Baserunning & Defense
He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. His arm is accurate enough. Gantz 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
The Regina Pirates signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Gantz like a hot potato if something better comes along.
