Scouting Report

Assets	He's the whole package at catcher: an elite hitter with great defensive skills, size and poise. Hits for a consistently stellar average while also taking walks. Can also be a top-tier run producer.
Flaws	Nagging injuries have been a career-long issue. At times, he could stand to be more aggressive at the plate. His home-run power lacks consistency. May be too valuable a hitter to remain a catcher.
Career potential	Superstar catcher, when healthy.
