Scouting Report

AssetsAn elite hitter at the catching position, he mixes a great batting eye with patience and power, making him an RBI machine. Is consistent all-round and calls a good game.
FlawsGets run on far too easily so he needs more work on his throwing and timing. Has dealt with vision issues that have at times caused him problems seeing the ball.
Career potentialExcellent all-round catcher.
