John Herring  
Left Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Herring never has been a patient hitter. In past seasons, Herring has been a bit of a liability with men on base. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. John Herring has made a career of putting the ball to the opposite field. That's rare in this day and age.

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

2025 Outlook
Herring 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.
