Utsuhiko Morita  
Catcher | Quebec Bulldogs

Hitting
He has the mental discipline to handle clutch situations. Morita always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His arm is accurate, and he knows when to unload or take his time. He generally takes one base at a time, though he'll take advantage if an outfielder gets lackadaisical.

2025 Outlook
The Quebec Bulldogs signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Morita like a hot potato if something better comes along.
