## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Kimmy Eckman

Kimmy is one of the worst backyard kids in terms of total numbers of baseballs. She is quite slow, and not a great contact hitter. She can hit home runs, but only if she gets the perfect pitch. She's not very useful on the mound or in the field, but she does have a pretty strong throwing arm.

On her home field of Eckman Acres, however, she becomes much better. Her ratings are boosted to 9/7/5/9. This makes her much faster, a starkly improved batter, and a great fielder. She is often drafted by teams whose home fields are Eckman Acres; just beware that she will only play on this field for 7 out of 14 games in a season.

### Backyard Football 2002

Kimmy Eckman

Kimmy, without a doubt, belongs on the defensive line. While she's not the speediest, she can bowl anybody over and sack any QB that dances in the pocket for a while. She's also equally effective on the offensive line, although she makes a pretty good quarterback in her own right. She's not very useful in any other position, as she is slow and can't catch.
