## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Stuart Sullivan

Stuart is tied for being the fastest player in the game, with a speed rating of 100/100. This makes him a valuable offensive weapon, even with a very weak bat, at 20 power and 39 contact. The weak bat actually works in his favor, because he can beat out most ground balls. In the field, he is noted for having a high catcher priority but a terrible arm, at just 19 throwing strength. Therefore, he's often paired with a catcher lock to move him to a different position. He does have a decent glove, with a coordination rating of 63/100.

> Stu is a slap hitter that has a lot of trouble making contact with the ball. But don't you DARE walk him. He's so fast that absolutely no player in the league can catch him on fresh legs. He's got great defensive attributes too, apart from his very weak throwing arm.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 3

Generics were made widely available in Season 3, and Stuart was drafted 52nd overall in the 3rd round by coach Mavfatha of the Bombers. The Bombers had a pretty rough year, going 3-11, but Stuart was a bright spot in the offense. He led the team with a 0.755 batting average, 30 stolen bases, and 34 runs scored.

#### Season 4

Stuart fell all the way to the 4th round, where he was taken with the 93rd overall pick by coach crazyei8hts of the Giants. The Giants were constructed to have a lot of power hitters, but Stuart was drafted so he would get on base and be driven in by the sluggers. The strategy worked for the most part, as Stuart led the squad with an 0.861 batting average, 44 stolen bases, and 53 runs scored. That batting average is 10th best all time, and his 44 steals are 8th best in a single season.

#### Season 5

Coach crazyei8hts and Stuart reunited on the Giants after he was drafted with the 71st overall pick in the 4th round. Stuart's job as table-setter increased dramatically. He batted an impressive 0.904, the 4th best mark in BBL history, he stole 69 runs, the BBL record, and he scored 58 runs, the BBL record in the "Lulu" era. He was a big reason why the Giants posted a 13-1 record.

#### Season 6

In Season 6, Stuart was drafted 90th overall in the 4th round by coach Yurya of the Diamondbacks. Stuart's numbers took a hit from his previous two seasons, but he was still a key cog in the Diamondbacks' offense, batting 0.807, scoring 29 runs and stealing 25 bases, all of which led the team.

#### Season 7

Stuart was taken in a very similar position in the next season, drafted 91st overall in the 4th round by coach Eauxps I. Fourgott of the Melonheads. The Melonheads didn't have the best season, but Stuart tried his hardest, batting 0.600, leading the team with 27 steals, and tied for the team lead with 15 runs scored.

#### Season 8

Stuart reunited with coach Yurya on the Monsters, being drafted 94th overall in the 4th round and then getting traded. Stuart was a teammate of his clone Star Moonbeam for the first time in their careers. Stuart posted numbers similar to Star, except his batting average was significantly worse, at 0.673 compared to Star's 0.808.

#### Season 9

With a slightly expanded player pool, Stuart's draft stock slipped a little bit. He was drafted 102nd overall in the 5th round by coach shrewsbury91 of the Marlins. Stuart had another fantastic season, batting 0.750 with 25 runs scored. Stuart earned his first all-star selection this season.

#### Season 10

##### 2001

The next season, on the 2001 side of Season 10, Stuart was drafted 78th overall in the 4th round by coach elchrisblanco of the Fishes, teaming him up with fellow speedsters Star Moonbeam and Pete Wheeler. Stuart performed better than his counterpart Star, batting 0.746 with 33 runs scored.

##### 2003

On the 2003 side, Stuart reunited with his two-time previous coach crazyei8hts on the Giants after being drafted 63rd overall in the 3rd round. Once again, Stuart was the team table-setter, leading the Giants in batting average (0.776) and runs scored (31). He also led all of Season 10 with 17 stolen bases, a relatively low total that shows the improvement in constructing AI defenses.
