Grant Hefeweizen  
Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. He rarely pulls pitches, preferring to shoot line drives to left-center.

Baserunning & Defense
His defense is solid but unspectacular. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par. Hefeweizen isn't a good baserunner. He doesn't get good jumps on steals nor runs sharp routes around the bases.

2025 Outlook
Hefeweizen 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.
