Scouting Report

Assets
  • The switch-hitter boasts good plate discipline, big-time power and a consistent stroke. Is a catcher first but can also play first base.
Flaws
  • There's still some rough edges that need sharpening in his all-around catching game. Tends to have less power as a lefty batter.
Career Potential
  • An all-star catcher if he can improve as a receiver.
