How to Use Mark McGwire

Build Around the Best Tools

  • Avoid unnecessary steals and extra-base risks because running is one of the weaker parts of the profile.
  • Use the mound role selectively: Secondary option based on current 6/10 rating.
  • Start with First Base and move to Third Base or Corner Outfield only when the lineup needs it.
Underlying strengths: Attention 80, Baseball IQ 75, Power 75 are the three highest hidden ratings in TGH’s current 2026 database.
