Todd Helton

Todd is an outstanding fielder, even though he plays first base. He has a throwing strength of 90/100, and a glove rating of 80. His bat is pretty good, at 79 power and 80 contact. The only real downside of Todd is his speed, at a measly 35.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 3

Todd was not available until Season 3, as the first two season were played on Backyard Baseball 2001. He was drafted 53rd overall in the 3rd round by coach alsi2843 of the Cubs, although this team eventually was handed over to psanchez55's dad. This was one of the worst teams in BBL history, at 1-13. Todd tied for the team lead with 14 RBIs, but he batted a team worst 0.300.

#### Season 4

Todd was drafted in a similar spot, with the 60th pick in the 3rd round by coach ArGarBarGar of the Athletics. Todd once again had 14 RBIs, although this wasn't the team lead this season.

#### Season 5

In Season 5, Todd was taken one pick lower, 61st overall in the 3rd round by coach cjl933 of the Expos. CJ had some technical difficulties and had to transfer the team to the hands of Yurya. Under Yurya's control, Todd struggled, batting just 0.267 and looking similar to the other Todd, his teammate Todd Xavier.

#### Season 6

In Season 6, Todd dropped to his lowest spot yet, being taken with the 80th pick in round 4 by coach crazyei8hts of the Indians. Todd didn't play first base though, crazyei8hts took advantage of his strong arm and set him up to play shortstop for both the user defense and the AI side. Todd had a fantastic season at the plate, setting career highs in batting average, home runs, RBIs, and runs scored. The Indians won the Season 6 World Series.

#### Season 7

Emanating the reigning World Series champs' strategy, Vissery of the Hornets drafted Todd 58th overall in the 3rd round and placed him at shortstop as well. Todd batted an impressive 0.609, although his runs and RBIs were down.

#### Season 8

Todd Helton was drafted 88th overall in the 4th round by coach jyknight of the Padres, who traded him to the Rockies and coach MartianMan for Todd's clone, Emily Lewbel. MartianMan really wanted Todd Helton, being a Rockies fan in real life. However, this reunion failed mightily, as Todd did not record a single RBI on the season and batted just 0.267, tied for his career worst.

#### Season 9

Todd was reunited with his World Series winning coach crazyei8hts as he drafted Todd for the Yankees with the 121st overall pick to lead off the 6th round. Todd played shortstop for the Yankees and was used as a line drive hitter. Todd's number rebounded a bit at the plate, as he batted 0.415 with 2 homers, 13 RBIs, and 16 runs scored.

Todd's highlight of the season came in Week 7 against the Fishes. In a live simul-streamed game, with the Yankees down to their last strike on offense, Todd smashed a home run which proved to be the difference in the game, as the Yankees won by a fraction of a run on the home team multiplier.
