Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's got a good bat that will continue to improve and surprising speed for a catcher. But his biggest asset is his cannon arm behind the plate that is one of the strongest in the game.
Flaws
  • He's overaggressive at the plate for a guy who has average power at best. Needs to learn how to hit righties and improve his pitch-receiving skills.
Career Potential
  • Good backup catcher with starting potential.
