Matt Pollock  
Shortstop | Free Agents

Hitting
This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. It's hard to explain but Matt Pollock plays much better on the road then he does at home. It's unfortunate too, with Pollock signing a hefty contract. You gotta imagine management wants a little better relationship between him and the fans.

Baserunning & Defense
Pollock is a steady shortstops with a strong arm, soft hands and the ability to barehand slow rollers. Pollock 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 Pollock to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
