Richie's best attribute may be his height. At 5/5 height, he is adept at catching fly balls and errant throws from infielders. None of his offensive or defensive skills are rated above 65, leaving much to be desired there. Richie is actually a decent pitcher, with an 80 slowball and an 80 right hook, but he has below average stamina. His high release point may make it difficult to pick up his pitch location if the opponent is not using the swing spot or pitch locator. 
==League History==
===BBL===
====Season 3====
Richie was not available until Season 3, as the first two season were played on Backyard Baseball 2001. He was drafted 126th overall in the 6th round by coach GreenDayEagles of the Rockies. Richie was a decent bat in the lineup, but he actually made his biggest impact on the mound. He pitched the most innings on the Rockies and posted a 0.35 ERA over 34 innings of work. 
====Season 4====
With concerns over his bat and his throwing arm, Richie fell all the way to the 9th round, getting picked 196th overall by coach Eauxps I. Fourgott of the Melonheads. Richie certainly seemed like a 9th rounder, finishing last on his team in almost every offensive category. 
====Season 5====
Richie remained in the 9th round, getting taken 184th overall by coach GSchlim of the Brewers, Sexson's real life team. Richie's numbers improved dramatically, and he was one of the biggest bats on the team. 
====Season 6====
With more emphasis on using locks to set up the AI defense, Richie was drafted earlier this season, drafted 155th overall in the 7th round by coach Wizard of the Wombats. Richie didn't do much offensively, but he did play a great first base, which was what he was expected to do. 
====Season 7====
In Season 7, Richie was taken in the exact same position: pick 155 in the 7th round. This time, he was taken by coach Marco of the Yankees. Richie was a hindrance to the team, hitting no home runs and tying for the fewest runs scored, with 6. 
====Season 8====
Richie was taken earlier in Season 8, drafted with the final pick of the 5th round, pick 120 overall by coach Toast of the Twins. Richie enjoyed one of the best season of his career, setting career highs in home runs and batting average. 
==== Season 9 ====
In Season 9, with player position locks abolished, first basemen were much less valuable. Consequently, Richie was drafted 195th overall in the 9th round by coach Marco of the Wombats, who eventually traded him to coach Eauxps I. Fourgott of the Melonheads. Being a 9th round pick gave Richie the ability to use power ups, and that led to a career year for him. He set career highs in batting average (0.593), RBIs (33), and runs scored (20). He also was the Melonheads' main pitcher for the first half of the season.
