  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Athletic, projectable frame. Looks the part. Has room to physically mature.

Hit: Starts open with his hands high. Quiet pre-swing. Simple, short, direct swing mechanics. Toe-tap timing device. Selective, knows the strike zone. Slow bat.

Power: Fringe-average raw power. Swing is more geared for line drives than over-the-fence power right now. Hits the ball hard. As he adds strength, power potential could increase.

Run: Below-average speed. Not a major part of his game.

Field: Moves well behind the plate. Solid defensive profile.
Arm: Above-average to better arm strength. Could improve to plus as he adds strength and physically matures.

Career Notes: Received the second-highest bonus of the Red Sox 2021 international free agent class. Was set to participate in the 2022 Fall Performance Program that was cancelled due to Hurricane Ian.

Summation: High-minors third catcher type.
Useful as a solid defensive backstop who can handle a pitching staff but does not project to add much at the plate.
