Ken Harper  
Catcher | Free Agents

Hitting
Harper never has been a patient hitter. Harper 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. Harper isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.

2025 Outlook
It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
