Scouting Report

Assets
  • Hits for average and scores more runs than most catchers. Also runs better than most backstops. Is incredibly durable and handles pitchers with aplomb.
Flaws
  • Has virtually no power or run-production qualities. Doesn't throw out enough runners trying to steal and commits too many errors behind the plate.
Career Potential
  • A steady everyday catcher.
