Scouting Report
A switch-hitter, he had good plate discipline and pretty decent home-run power. Called a good game and provided leadership. Was versatile enough to also play first base if needed, mainly due to a huge frame. Was somewhat injury-prone. There were also rough patches in his defensive game, and he struggled in throwing out runners. Lacked consistency with the bat, as well.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent, switch-hitting catcher.
