Nick Delvecchio  
First Baseman | Houston Astros

Hitting
Delvecchio never has been a patient hitter. Delvecchio always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hangs in well against lefthanders' breaking balls, and some of the pitchers he hits best are the southpaw specialists often brought in to face him.

Baserunning & Defense
His arm is below average but not a major weakness. Delvecchio has below-average speed and is a poor baserunner.
