Sean Vanlier  
Shortstop | Grand Rapids Red Dogs

Hitting
Vanlier always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He doesn't perform well against right-handed pitching.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. Vanlier has one of the strongest arms among shortstops. Vanlier's speed is now average at best and he steals only infrequently.
