Scouting Report

Assets
  • Power is certainly his calling card. For a catcher, he possesses an excellent offensive arsenal and the ability to get red-hot.
Flaws
  • Needs to work on his defense, as well as his game-calling skills, in order to see more action behind the dish. Lacks a little plate discipline.
Career Potential
  • An offensive backup catcher.
