Scouting Report
Displayed very good patience at bat and had a smooth line-drive stroke. Was fairly athletic for a catcher and did not make a lot of mistakes with the mitt. Struggled mightily to throw base-runners out attempting to steal. Did not have a lot of home-run power, so he struggled to produce runs consistently.
Long Range Potential: Savvy, contact-hitting catcher.
