Laverne Kass  
Left Fielder | Grand Rapids Red Dogs

Hitting
He has a very quick bat and can adjust to a pitch's movement as well as any hitter in the game. Kass always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. Kass tends to zone in on the power-alleys. Most of his outfield hits are to left and right center.

Baserunning & Defense
He's an adequate leftfielders who is helped by his experience. His arm is accurate enough. Kass doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often.
