Darwin Vanderlinde
Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Hitting The book on Vanderlinde is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Vanderlinde always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense Vanderlinde isn't a fluid catcher, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. He has a strong, accurate arm. Vanderlinde doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often.
2025 Outlook Vanderlinde flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly.
