Scouting Report

Assets
  • Paul can really get around on pitches low in the zone. He has surprising speed for a catcher and has shown a strong ability to capitalize with runners in scoring position.
Flaws
  • He strikes out way too much and southpaws give him fits.
Career Potential
  • No better than a No. 2 catcher in the majors, if that.
