Scouting Report

Assets
  • Most pitchers he has worked with have commented on his superior ability to call a game, set a good target and frame pitches.
Flaws
  • His long, loopy swing is capable of producing power, but more likely to produce a ton of strikeouts at the plate. Is embarassingly slow.
Career Potential
  • A decent backup catcher.
