Rihanna would play second base in baseball, rated 86 in Legends Draft MLB, the parody game where famous people play baseball. The position leans hardest on contact and fielding, where Rihanna rates 88 and 90. Best attribute: fielding (90). A second baseman built on range and speed. Her glove is the best part of her card, her quickness is next, and power is the one thing missing.

Rihanna as a baseball player: scouting report
Rihanna grew up in Barbados, an island that lives and breathes cricket, and she would bring a fielder's instincts to second base. Her glove is the top mark on her card and her speed is right behind it, which is exactly what the position wants: range to both sides, quick feet around the bag and a fast pivot on the double play. Balls up the middle that look like singles off the bat would end up in her glove.
At the plate she is a contact hitter with a good eye who gets on base and then makes trouble. Speed turns her walks into doubles and her doubles into runs. Umbrella went to the top of the charts in 2007, and she has kept reinventing herself ever since, from the launch of Fenty Beauty in 2017 to her Super Bowl halftime show in 2023, performed on a platform suspended high above the field. A ballplayer with that kind of range adjusts from one at bat to the next, sitting on the fastball one time and spoiling the slider the next.
Power is the honest gap. She will hit the ball into the gaps rather than over the wall, so she belongs at the top of the order rather than in the middle of it. Her arm is short of elite as well, which is fine at second base and a little less fine at shortstop, her next best spot. She can also patrol center field if your outfield needs speed. Draft her early as your second baseman, bat her first or second and pair her with a slugger who can drive her in.
