Scouting Report:
Catcher with a
smaller frame, underwent Tommy John Surgery in 2007. Quick feet. Moves
well laterally behind plate. Fronts balls in dirt well. Firm glove, with
solid reactions. Plus arm, but can be long with release. Needs some
cleanup work being consistent with grip when throwing, learning how to
manage the game. Can be repetitive and fall into obvious patterns when
calling a game. Average bat speed. Limited hitting zones. Hits balls out
and over the plate well, but struggles with inside fastballs and elevated
ones. Fringe-average power. Patient approach. Will work counts. Defense is
strong suit. Up-and-down emergency catcher.
