Ron Short  
Second Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
He has the mental discipline to handle clutch situations. Short never has been a patient hitter. Short always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. The switch-hitting Short has better plate coverage and more power from the right side than when he bats lefthanded.

Baserunning & Defense
When you play Short you're not putting him in for his glove. Ron's arm leaves a little to be a desired. Short has below-average speed and is a poor baserunner.

2025 Outlook
Short isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Ron to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.
