James Willard  
Third Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Willard doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a few bases each season without getting caught very often. In the past, his critics have accused Willard of being a liability in the field. James's arm leaves a little to be a desired.

2025 Outlook
In one full big league season, Willard already has done more than what scouts projected when he came out of college.
