Karl Handforth  
Third Baseman | Lethbridge Typhoon

Hitting
In past seasons, Handforth has been a bit of a liability with men on base. Handforth always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

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. Handforth isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.
