Physical Description: Filled-out, solid catcher’s frame. Looks listed height and weight. Below-average athlete.

Hit: Starts square and vertical. Utilizes a leg lift timing device. Very slow bat. Struggles to get the barrel through the zone.

Power: No power potential. Lacks lift in swing and the ability to drive the ball hard in the air.

Run: 20 speed. Not a part of his game.

Field: Really knows how to catch and handle a pitching staff. Solid receiving skills, does a good job blocking balls in the dirt. Potential above-average defender.

Arm: Above-average arm. Accurate with some carry.

Summation: Minor league backup depth catcher. Will stick around due to his defensive ability, but has minimal upside. Type of player a team will carry as a third catcher in the low minors and can shuttle from level to level depending on the need.
