Scouting Report

Assets
  • Displays very good patience at bat and has a smooth line-drive stroke. Is fairly athletic for a catcher and doesn't make a lot of mistakes with the mitt.
Flaws
  • Struggles mightily to throw base-runners out attempting to steal. Doesn't have a lot of home-run power, which is normally associated with the catching position.
Career Potential
  • Solid contact-hitting catcher, when healthy.
