Donzell Sakata  
Second Baseman | Free Agents

Hitting
The book on Sakata is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His arm is accurate enough. Sakata doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a few bases each season without getting caught very often.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Sakata to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
