  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Small-framed athletic backstop. No remaining projection.

Hit: Below-average bat. Strike-out prone, doesn't impact the baseball.

Power: Below-average in game power. Has some raw power but doesn't translate to games due to subpar contact rates.

Run: Below-average speed. Not a threat on the basepaths.

Field: Plus defender. Excellent game caller, knows how to handle a pitching staff. Solid ball blocking skills. Moves well behind the dish.

Arm: Above-average to plus arm, throws out baserunners.
  Career Notes: Played a backup role at Florida for two years before starting his junior season. Impressed defensively in the Reds, Orioles, and Twins systems but never made significant improvements with the bat.

Summation: Solid emergency Triple-A depth due to his defense. Will also bring significant value working with a Triple-A pitching staff. Potential coaching candidate down the line.

Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
