Scouting Report: Excellent defensive catcher with a sturdy frame.   Great at throwing runners out and blocking balls in the dirt.  Calls a very good game, has a great relationship with his pitchers. Nimble behind the plate.  Extremely hard worker with leadership ability. With the bat, Wagner has gap power and makes decent contact at the plate.   Could stand to improve his swing mechanics somewhat.  No particularly dominant offensive tools, but all are average or above average.  Wagner could very well be a starting catcher at the MLB level.
