Art Tatum   Third Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players Hitting In past seasons, Tatum has been a bit of a liability with men on base. The book on Tatum is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Tatum always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Tatum when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball. Baserunning & Defense His arm and range are average, and he has a tendency to get lazy with his feet. Tatum isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out. 2025 Outlook Tatum isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Art to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.           -- Ska Nyman, A-Ball Scout
