Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a legitimate switch-hitting power hitter and one of the most durable catchers in Major League Baseball. In the clutch, he's money at the plate.
Flaws
  • Tends to wear down in September and October, probably due to overuse. Doesn't throw out as many base-stealers as he should.
Career Potential
  • An all-star catcher.
