Scouting Report: Defensive-minded catcher with some pop in his bat.  Ross has outstanding catcher's tools, including great game calling ability and an excellent arm.   Doesn't make great contact but has flashed power in the past against both righties and lefties.  Strikes out a lot, especially against high velocity pitchers.  Gets on base at a decent clip.
