  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Athletic build for a catcher. Still has projection remaining in frame.

Hit: Left-handed bat. Strong wrists and hands. Primarily a pull hitter. Swing lacks loft, line drive stroke. Potential average hit tool.

Power: Gap power at present. Power has not progressed much early in his career.

Run: Fringe-average speed. Will not be a stolen base threat.

Field:  Doesn't project as a standout defender, but should be able to stick at catcher long-term. Receives the ball well and has good makeup.
  Arm: Potential plus arm behind the plate.

Career Notes: Signed for a small bonus in July 2017. Has moved up the ladder one level per year. Participated in the Fall Instructional League in 2018 and 2019.

Summation: Needs a lot of development and will likely move slowly through the system.
