Tom Hanks as a baseball player: scouting report

Tom Hanks has already managed a ball club. In A League of Their Own he played Jimmy Dugan, the gruff Rockford Peaches manager behind the movie's most quoted line about crying. Now he gets to play. He lands at second base, and his speed is the reason: as Forrest Gump he ran across America on screen, the role that won him the second of back to back Best Actor Oscars after Philadelphia.

Speed is the top mark on his card, so he covers ground up the middle, turns the double play pivot quickly and steals bases once he gets on. His eye is the other headline rating, which gives him a patient approach at the top of the order, and his contact is nearly as strong. His fielding is excellent too. His character in Cast Away survived years alone on an island with only a volleyball for company, and an actor who can carry a film almost by himself will have no trouble carrying a lineup through a long August road trip. He is also a devoted collector of manual typewriters, a hobby that rewards patience and precision.

The arm is the honest weakness, which is why second base suits him better than shortstop, though he can play short with a modest drop and center field is a solid fallback. Power is moderate, so bat him leadoff or second. Pair him with a strong armed shortstop and a slugger behind him, and take him in the early rounds. Few players in this pool are easier to build a lineup around.
