Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has decent upside with the bat and solid skills behind the plate. Hits left-handed, which adds to his value as a catcher.
Flaws
  • Doesn't hit left-handed pitching all that well and doesn't possess big-time power at the plate. Strikes out a bit too much, as well.
Career Potential
  • A backup catcher.
