Ivan is one of the few catcher locks in the game, and he has a rocket for an arm, with 99 arm strength. His bat is decent, with 70/100 in both batting power and batting contact. He's also a pretty good pitcher, but beware of pitching him too long; his stamina is just 18/100. 
==League History==
===BBL===
====Season 1====
Ivan was first taken with the 47th pick in the 6th round by coach GSchlim of the Fishes. Pudge had a decent season at the plate, and also made some relief appearances on the mound. 
====Season 2====
Ivan was taken with the 27th pick in round 4 of the Season 2 draft by coach GreenDayEagles of the Melonheads, although this team eventually was given to alsi2843. Ivan struggled at the plate, batting just 8/33 on the season. However, he was excellent on the mound, posting a 0.43 ERA in 42 innings pitched. 
====Season 9====
Seasons 3 through 8 took place exclusively on Backyard Baseball 2003, so 2001-only pros like Ivan Rodriguez could not be used. However, Season 9 combined the two versions of the game, so 2001 pros were back in the mix. Pudge was drafted with the 135th pick in the 6th round by coach MartianMan of the Rockies. Ivan had perhaps the best season of his career, batting a career best 0.556, scoring a career high 9 runs, and hitting his first 2 career home runs.
