Scouting Report
A good athlete for a catcher, he throws well and calls a very good game behind the dish. Leads by example. Is definitely future manager material. Has too many holes in his swing, leading to streakiness at the plate as well as too many strikeouts. Lacks patience, too, so he is not an everyday catcher.
Long Range Potential: Veteran, defensive catcher and leader.
