Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has late-blooming power at the plate, particularly against right-handed pitching. He's a good run-producer.
Flaws
  • Though he's solid behind the plate, he's a little rough around the edges. Has no discipline to speak of at the dish.
Career Potential
  • A solid backup catcher, at best.
