Merrick Wildberger  
Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. But Merrick's detracters are quick to call attention to his ongoing struggles at the plate with men on base. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever.

Baserunning & Defense
When you play Wildberger you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough. His speed is below average and he's not a threat to steal.

2025 Outlook
Wildberger flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly.
