Neil McLaughlin  
Second Baseman | Free Agents

Hitting
In past seasons, McLaughlin has been a bit of a liability with men on base. This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. The Free Agents do tend to sit McLaughlin when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball. You can expect Neil McLaughlin to pull the ball.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. Neil's arm leaves a little to be a desired. McLaughlin 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
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed McLaughlin to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
