Called a great game and handled pitchers extremely well. Could drive balls to the gaps effectively. Was a great leader who had manager written all over him (even during his playing days). Struggled against right-handed pitchers and hit with virtually no power. Also, runners took liberties with him when trying to steal bases due to his ineffective arm. | |
Long Range Potential: | Good defensive catcher and leader by example. |
