Fred McCleaf  
Shortstop | Yellowknife Bluenotes

Hitting
McCleaf always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

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