Scouting Report
Has the ideal frame for the catching position--relatively short and stocky. Is a natural leader with good receiving skills. Overall, he defends his position well. Does not hit with a lot of consistency, and he only possesses average power. That makes him a poor option to play every day in Major League Baseball.
Long Range Potential: Backup catcher.
