BruceDavid Banner  
Catcher | Minnesota Horde

Hitting
One thing's for sure, late in the game you're glad you have him on the field. Banner 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. You can expect BruceDavid Banner to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
He might not deliver for you at the plate, but Banner can certainly deliver in the field. He is an exceptional fielder. He's also one of the better throwing catchers in the league. He generally takes one base at a time, though he'll take advantage if an outfielder gets lackadaisical.
