Scouting Report

Assets
  • He knows how to handle pitchers and has a wicked arm. A smart player who can come off the bench to lay down a key bunt.
Flaws
  • A very slow runner, scant power and a bat that barely keeps him over the Mendoza line.
Career Potential
  • A good depth catcher, No. 2 at best.
