Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a pretty good switch-hitting bat and enough versatility to play in the outfield if needed. Can fill in as a starting catcher if needed.
Flaws
  • Doesn't show enough all-around consistency to receive regular at-bats at the Major League level. Lacks power at the dish.
Career Potential
  • A solid backup catcher.
