Scouting Report

Assets
  • His best attributes are behind the plate, where he handles pitchers well, has a good arm and blocks the plate effectively. Is a disciplined switch-hitter.
Flaws
  • His bat isn't consistent enough to put up big numbers and he only has average power from either side of home plate.
Career Potential
  • Decent starting catcher, but a great backup.
