Fielding	
Jeff has a strong bat but poor contact. He is quite tall so he is very consistent at first base, his default position. However, if a lock can be used to move him from first base, he also makes a great shortstop or catcher. His stamina isn't amazing so he will occasionally tire out at first base becoming a liability in grounderball play styles.
==League History==
===BBL===
====Season 1====
Jeff Bagwell was first drafted with the 6th pick of the 5th in the inaugural BBL draft by coach GreenDayEagles of the Melonheads. He had a decent season hitting in the middle of the Melonheads lineup and was their first baseman in the field.
====Season 2====
The next season, Bagwell played for his real-life team, the Astros, after being selected by coach Wilbur Wood with the 45th overall pick. This team eventually fell into the hands of substitute coach gmchappe, who guided Bagwell to a much better season offensively. The Astros won the Season 2 World Series.
====Season 3====
With the generic players now available in Season 3, Jeff's draft stock took a slight hit, being taken by coach GSchlim of the Hornets with the 57th overall pick. However, with more teams involved, this made Bagwell a third round pick. Jeff's numbers were very similar to his World Series-winning numbers from Season 2.
====Season 4====
After being taken in the third round with the 68th overall pick in the draft, Jeff was reunited with coach gmchappe, this time on the Red Sox. With grounderball in full effect, Jeff enjoyed one of his best offensive seasons. Even though only 11 games of stats were recorded, most of his stats exceeded his previous career bests.
====Season 5 - Lulu====
Hanging around the third round again, Jeff Bagwell was scooped up by coach Nick Foles is my dad of the Athletics with the 58th overall pick. Bagwell was an integral part of the team's defense and offense, and he won his second career World Series with the A's.
====Season 6====
In Season 6, Bags was taken with the 62nd overall pick in the 3rd round by coach jyknight of the Pirates. Bagwell was in a slump this season, recording some of his lowest totals since Season 1. However, Bagwell was still an important part of the team.
====Season 7====
The next season, Bagwell was drafted 55th overall to coach JorgesBankAccount of the Mariners. The Mariners employed a dink-and-dunk strategy of moving players over with short ground balls, but Bagwell was one of two power hitters on the Mariners, and aimed to get most of the RBIs on the team. This strategy led to a new career high in RBIs for Bagwell, with 59, which was good for 4th in the league. Bagwell and the Mariners reached the Season 7 World Series, potentially Bags' third championship. However, they were bested by the A's in five games, a team with which Bagwell previously had won a championship.
==== Season 8 ====
In Season 8, Bagwell was picked #50 overall in the third round by coach GSchlim of the Blue Jays, who was creating a team entirely consisting of kids whose names start with J. Bagwell was one of the big bats in the lineup, leading the team in RBIs and tied for the team lead in doubles. However, the Blue Jays went 5-9 and missed the playoffs. 
==== Season 9 ====
Jeff was taken 63rd overall in the third round by coach SilverBullet102 of the Brewers. With the removal of player position locks and AI defensive priorities, Jeff played catcher for the Brewers. At the plate, he didn't have the best season, with a batting average of 0.512 and just 4 extra base hits.

==Humiliation vs Little Monsters==
The Little Monsters were determined to humiliate Jeff Bagwell as one of their goals for the game in the Season 5 Game 4. Jeff on the Philadelphia Athletics coached by Nick Foles is my dad struck out twice and in embarrassing fashion. This event was recorded by Manager JibboDaHibbo found at this link. The Little Monsters gave Jeff Bagwell the new nickname of Jewel-Osco (a place where people bag well).
==Bagwell's Revenge==
Jeff Bagwell got his revenge on JibboDaHibbo two seasons later. In Week 14 of Season 7, the Seattle Mariners (coached by JorgesBankAccount) faced off against JibboDaHibbo's Junior Brewers in the Matchup of the Week. This game was especially relevant because the winner would get to play in a play-in game to try and make the playoffs, while the loser would be eliminated. In that game, Jeff Bagwell hit for the cycle + a triple with 8 RBIs and 4 runs scored. His most notable hit was an inside-the-park grand slam that started as a pop fly into right field of Sandy Flats that nobody chose to catch (due to exhaustion), that later turned into a comedy of errors as the right fielder actually threw the ball deeper into the outfield instead of relaying it in. The Mariners ended up winning the game 27-15 and eliminating the Junior Brewers from the playoff race.
