Scouting Report

Assets
  • Like his brothers Bengie and Yadier, he boasts a powerful arm and good overall skills behind the plate. Can also be a solid contact hitter.
Flaws
  • Unlike his brothers, he strikes out a lot and comes up empty in the clutch. He often falls behind in the count early and cannot recover.
Career Potential
  • A solid backup catcher.
