JD Drew  
Right Fielder | Atlanta Braves

Hitting
Drew is a legitimate run producer. He'll make the adjustments if he gets behind in the count or the game is on the line, spreading out his stance and looking to the opposite field. One thing's for sure, late in the game you're glad you have him on the field. Drew was a line-drive hitter when he first came up, but over the last few years has become more of a true home-run hitter, lofting more high flyballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. His strength is in the gaps.

Baserunning & Defense
Drew plays a near-flawless right fielder, making very few errors. His arm is accurate enough. Aggressive on the basepaths, Drew is a good basestealer and takes the extra base when needed most.
