Scouting Report: A corner outfielder with a solid all-around game in college, Spoon moved to catcher as a professional. Did play some outfield in Lowell in 2015, likely in order for him to play at a level appropriate for his bat for part of his first season. Gap-to-gap power. Average speed. Participated in 2015 and 2016 Fall Instructional League. Suspended 50 games entering 2017 season after testing positive for an amphetamine. Since returning from suspension, has played exclusively outfield.
