Hitting
He thrives late in games. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Jud Jelsma to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.
Baserunning & Defense
His arm and range are average, and he has a tendency to get lazy with his feet. Jelsma doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often.
2025 Outlook
Jelsma isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Jud to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.
