Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a good all-round package at the catching position: hits for power and average, while showing good patience at the dish. Also shows improvements in his game-calling skills. A hard-working player, he is driven to improve his game.
Flaws
  • Can be quite streaky with the bat. While a good power hitter, he lacks consistency in that department. Struggles at times to throw base-runners out. Is also still a work-in-progress, defensively.
Career Potential
  • Solid offensive catcher with all-round upside.
  • AwardsNL - Rookie of the YearNamed to the All-Star GamePacific Coast League (AAA) - Most Valuable PlayerPacific Coast League (AAA) - All-Star Team
