Dave Valle  
Catcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
The book on Valle is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. Valle always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
He has below-average speed and is stiff on the basepath. He's poor on a straight steal but has some success at reading pitchers and working a delayed steal. Valle is a poor defensive catcher. He isn't very mobile or adept at blocking balls in the dirt. Runners take advantage of his weak arm.
