Denny Rickner  
Shortstop | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Rickner never has been a patient hitter. In past seasons, Rickner has been a bit of a liability with men on base. He hangs in well against lefthanders' breaking balls, and some of the pitchers he hits best are the southpaw specialists often brought in to face him. You can expect Denny Rickner to pull the ball. It's hard to explain but Denny Rickner plays much better on the road then he does at home.

Baserunning & Defense
Rickner isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out. His glovework leaves a lot to be desired. Denny's arm leaves a little to be a desired.

2025 Outlook
Rickner flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly.
