Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has some pop in his bat and is able to produce with runners in scoring position. Behind the plate, he has a good arm and big-league catching smarts.
Flaws
  • His bat is far too inconsistent. He's extremely aggressive at the plate and rarely obtains bases on balls. Doesn't excel if given extra playing time.
Career Potential
  • A good platoon catcher, but nothing more.
