Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a good low-ball hitter, and hits consistently for power and produces runs. A confident game-caller, he can also handle a fairly heavy workload.
Flaws
  • Can be all or nothing at the plate, as he lacks the patience for walks and takes too big of a cut. While solid defensively, he commits his share of passed balls.
Career Potential
  • Veteran catcher with power.
  • AwardsTexas League (AA) - All-Star Team
