Steven Jans  
First Baseman | Free Agents

Hitting
Jans never has been a patient hitter. The Free Agents do tend to sit Jans when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball. You can expect Steven Jans to pull the ball.

Baserunning & Defense
Jans isn't a fluid first baseman, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is accurate enough. He has below-average speed and is stiff on the basepath. He's poor on a straight steal but has some success at reading pitchers and working a delayed steal.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Jans to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
