Bud Harstad   Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players Hitting He has the mental discipline to handle clutch situations. The book on Harstad is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. Baserunning & Defense His defense is solid but unspectacular. Runners take advantage of his weak arm. He generally takes one base at a time, though he'll take advantage if an outfielder gets lackadaisical. 2025 Outlook One has to wonder what Bud Harstad is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors.           -- Emu Nyman, AA/AAA Scout
