Sparrow Hostetler  
Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Hostetler never has been a patient hitter. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Hostetler is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat. When you play Hostetler you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough.

2025 Outlook
Hostetler 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.
