Dane Loftus  
Shortstop | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Folks, this ain't rocket science: Loftus is at the plate to hit the long ball. And boy, has he hit some monsters in his day! He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. He rarely pulls pitches, preferring to shoot line drives to right-center.

Baserunning & Defense
He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. Dane's arm leaves a little to be a desired. Loftus has below-average speed and is a poor baserunner.
