Art Vukovich  
Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Vukovich never has been a patient hitter. Vukovich always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hangs in well against lefthanders' breaking balls, and some of the pitchers he hits best are the southpaw specialists often brought in to face him.

Baserunning & Defense
Vukovich is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat. When you play Vukovich you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough.

2025 Outlook
Vukovich has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.
