Hitting
Szafranski usually pounds the ball into the ground to try to get the most out of his speed. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense
Szafranski is an above-average runner, but lacks the first-step explosiveness needed to become a basestealing threat. His arm and range are average, and he has a tendency to get lazy with his feet.
2023 Outlook
Szafranski 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.
