Scouting Report: Light-hitting catcher with major league ready defense.  Has good hand action at the plate but struggles to maintain a consistent swing.  Subpar approach.  Above average raw power. On defense, he shows a plus arm and above-average footwork. Fringy ball block ability, somewhat error prone.  Profiles as organizational depth. Still young enough to develop into an emergency up-and-down catcher.
