Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is fairly athletic for a catcher. Displays a smooth line-drive stroke with untapped power potential. Can hit both righties and lefties.
Flaws
  • Has yet to prove he can handle first-string duties at the major-league level. May need to become more aggressive at the plate.
Career Potential
  • A decent No. 1A catcher.
