Fouad Tafora  
Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
In past seasons, Tafora has been a bit of a liability with men on base. The book on Tafora is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Tafora always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. Tafora struggles on the road.

Baserunning & Defense
He generally takes one base at a time, though he'll take advantage if an outfielder gets lackadaisical. His glovework leaves a lot to be desired. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par.

2025 Outlook
Tafora was a rule-five pickup for the Retired or Inactive Players last year. I think The Retired or Inactive Players just didn't want to be left out of the Rule-V draft, why else would you sign Tafora?
