Scouting Report

Assets
  • A steady contact hitter, he has some pop in his bat. An increasing walk ratio is a testament to better discipline at the dish.
Flaws
  • Has to do a better job of getting his throws on target, since his lack of accuracy costs his club a number of outs.
Career Potential
  • A competent backup catcher.
