Morgan Freeman as a baseball player: scouting report
Morgan Freeman has narrated everything from March of the Penguins to The Shawshank Redemption, and a narrator is someone who sees the whole story while everyone else is inside it. That is a catcher. He would crouch behind the plate, take in all nine fielders and the hitter's feet at once and quietly tell everyone what is about to happen. His eye is the best mark on his card and his fielding is right behind it.
His glove is what makes him valuable. He would frame pitches softly, block balls in the dirt and settle a young pitcher with a few calm words on the mound. He served as a radar technician in the United States Air Force before he turned to acting, and that technical, steady temperament fits a position full of signs and signals. He won the Academy Award for Million Dollar Baby, playing a former boxer who looks after a gym, and he would look after a pitching staff with the same patience. His contact is good enough to keep the line moving.
His arm is the soft spot, so fast runners will test him, and his power is modest. Pair him with pitchers who are quick to the plate and the running game stays manageable. Second base is his next best spot and shortstop is a possibility, and his speed is decent for a catcher, which helps on the bases. He also became a licensed pilot later in life, a reminder that he never stops learning a new skill. Draft him in the middle rounds as a defense first catcher and trust him to make the whole staff better.
