Walt Trosky  
Shortstop | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
The book on Trosky is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Don't be surprised if The Retired or Inactive Players's manager sits Trosky when you throw your ace lefty. For some reason, he just can't figure out the southpaw. You can expect Walt Trosky to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
Trosky isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out. Minor league scouts have accused Trosky of being a liability in the field. His arm is accurate enough.

2025 Outlook
One has to wonder what Walt Trosky is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors.
