Garth Garbini  
Shortstop | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
One of the nice things about Garth is that he's a real clutch hitter. This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Garth Garbini to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
Garbini isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out. When you play Garbini you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough.

2025 Outlook
Garbini has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.
