Uche Weirich
First Baseman | Owen Sound Crusaders
Hitting He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. Don't be surprised if The Owen Sound Crusaders's manager sits Weirich when you throw your ace lefty. For some reason, he just can't figure out the southpaw. Uche Weirich has made a career of putting the ball to the opposite field. That's rare in this day and age.
Baserunning & Defense Aggressive on the basepaths, Weirich is a good basestealer and takes the extra base when needed most. He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. Weirich has one of the strongest arms among first basemen.
2025 Outlook The Owen Sound Crusaders signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Weirich like a hot potato if something better comes along.
