Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a quality bat from the catching position. Is a very good athlete and possesses good power and even a modicum of speed.
Flaws
  • Isn't big for a catcher, so durability will be questioned throughout his career. Must continue to work on his defensive and game-calling skills.
Career Potential
  • Offensive catcher.
