Scouting Report

Assets
  • A great leader. A good hitter from both sides with solid power. A run producer who knows how to take a walk. Behind the plate he calls a great game and sweats the details.
Flaws
  • A bit too much of a free swinger. Can get run on. Like a lot of catchers he has little to no speed as a runner.
Career Potential
  • Perennial All-Star contender.
