Scouting Report

Assets
  • A complete package at the catcher position: calls a good game, has a strong throwing arm, and hits for power and average while showing good patience. A hard-working workhorse who strives to improve his game.
Flaws
  • A bit of a late bloomer, he took awhile developing his game at the minor league level. While a good power hitter, he strikes out too much.
Career Potential
  • All-Star catcher.
