## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Todd Xavier

Todd was definitely born to pitch. His two best pitches are the heat and right hook, both rated 85/100. Combined with his 70 stamina and two other decent pitches, he's got the mold of a starting pitcher. He also holds his own in the field. His arm isn't the strongest (59 strength), but it is accurate (90 accuracy), and he has a decent glove, rated 78. He's not very useful at the plate, with just 32 power to go with his 74 contact. He won't strike out much, but he won't get it past the infield much either.

> Todd is among the most prolific pitchers in the league. He won't be very productive on offense, but more than makes up for it with his deadly fastball and right hook. Many hitters find themselves frustrated at just how often he forces dribblers for easy outs.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 3

Generics were made widely available in Season 3, but Todd Xavier was used as an AI stand-in for custom player Jay Hawk of the Giants.

#### Season 4

Todd was drafted for the first time with the 152nd pick in the 7th round by coach GreenDayEagles of the Mets. Todd didn't do much at the plate, but he was invaluable on the mound. He pitched every inning for the Mets, recording an impressive 0.57 ERA and striking out 72 batters.

#### Season 5

The next season, Todd was drafted 141st overall in the 7th round by coach cjl933 of the Expos, although this team was eventually coached by Yurya. Todd's batting and pitching stats both took significant hits. He batted a lowly 0.233 and had a 1.36 ERA in 44 innings pitched.

#### Season 6

Todd shot up the draft board, selected 94th overall in the 4th round by coach Nodakkian of the Braves. However, Todd did not live up to his new draft position, having a terrible season. He only batted 0.111 at the plate, going 5 for 45 with 5 singles. On the mound, he pitched 30 2/3 innings and gave up 37 runs for an inflated ERA of 7.25.

#### Season 7

Perhaps due to his disastrous Season 6, Todd plummeted to the 183rd pick in the 8th round, where he was selected by coach MelloMathTeacher of the Athletics. Todd improved minimally at the plate, but he had a much better season on the mound. In 83 1/3 innings pitched, he posted a 1.01 ERA and struck out 89 batters. The A's won the Season 7 World Series.

#### Season 8

After winning the World Series, Todd was taken with the 152nd pick in the 7th round by coach Yurya of the Monsters. Oddly, Yurya did not use Todd as a pitcher much, opting to start Fernando Diaz instead. Yurya said he only picked Todd because he was a difficult AI pitcher to play against.

#### Season 9

With a slightly larger player pool, and more flexibility for AI pitching due to the removal of the AI defensive priorities, Todd went undrafted in Season 9 and did not play.

#### Season 10

##### 2001

Todd returned in Season 10 on both sides. In the 2001 league, he was drafted 188th overall in the 9th round by coach elchrisblanco of the Fishes. This made him eligible to use batting power-ups. The power-ups gave him a solid season at the plate, as he batted 0.480 with 13 RBIs and 7 runs scored. Pitching, he tossed 78 innings with a 1.46 ERA and 72 K's to his name.

##### 2003

In the 2003 league, Todd was drafted 183rd overall in the 9th round by coach crazyei8hts of the Giants. Todd was a power-up user here, too. As a power-up user, Todd enjoyed the best hitting season of his career, setting career highs with a 0.528 average, 24 RBIs, and 16 runs scored. He also set a career high with 5 walks.

On the mound, Todd also had an excellent campaign. Pitching 82 1/3 out of a possible 84 innings, Todd recorded a 0.51 ERA with 105 strikeouts. His stellar season earned him the Frontyard League Ace Wilson Award.

## Trivia

* Todd's 7.25 ERA in Season 6 is likely the worst ever by a person who also won an Ace Wilson Award in their career.
