Scouting Report
Intense, smart and focused behind the plate, he also made good contact with the bat, hit with some pop and was decent in the clutch. Usually guided MLB pitchers very well. His trademark intensity sometimes got the better of him. Could be run on easily. Could have produced more runs and hit for an even better average with greater patience.
Long Range Potential: Quality catcher and intense leader.
