Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a patient hitter with a little power and run-producing potential. Is at his best when batting against southpaws. Has the durability to catch every day.
Flaws
  • Needs to improve his average against right-handers in order to avoid being labeled a platoon catcher. Must continue to improve his receiving skills.
Career Potential
  • A decent starting catcher.
