Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a very good bat for the catching position, complete with plate discipline and a little power. Runs well for a catcher, too.
Flaws
  • His defensive deficiencies and questionable game-calling tactics could force him to first base. Lacks power for a corner infielder.
Career Potential
  • An offensive backup catcher or platoon player.
