Howie Ellick
Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Hitting But Howie's detracters are quick to call attention to his ongoing struggles at the plate with men on base. The Retired or Inactive Players do tend to sit Ellick when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball.
Baserunning & Defense Ellick isn't a fluid catcher, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par. Ellick doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a few bases each season without getting caught very often.
