|

Physical Description: Thick,
mature frame. Sturdy catcher's build.
Hit:
Starts open and utilizes a short leg kick timing device. Loads
high and keeps his hands up throughout. Will not swing-and-miss
often, but rarely walks and his approach needs work. Can be
overly aggressive and has trouble recognizing spin. Has had
issues with timing in the past. Potential below-average hit
tool.
Power: Plus raw power. Can really
impact the baseball, especially up in the zone. Power is mainly
to the pull side; every home run in his career prior to being
acquired by the Red Sox was to left or left-center. Ability to
tap into raw power will depend on how his hit tool develops.
Potential average in-game power.
Run:
Well-below-average speed. Not a part of his game.
Field: Does not move well behind the plate.
Framing and receiving need a lot of work. Potential
fringe-average glove.
|
|
Arm: Plus-plus
arm. Does a good job controlling the running game. Arm is a
weapon.
Career Notes: Acquired from
the Rays in February 2021 with Nick Sogard for Jeffrey Springs
and Chris Mazza. Spent much of the 2020 traveling with the Rays
on the taxi squad. Was added to the Rays 40-man roster in
November 2019. Was an infielder before signing with the Rays,
moving behind the plate after signing.
Summation:
Potential bat-first backup catcher, but has a wide range of
outcomes and has everyday upside. Power and arm are carrying
tools, but questions about his approach and hit tool and
defensive profile cloud his future projection. Type of defensive
profile that could really benefit from robot umps. If he can
even develop into a fringe-average defender with a below-average
hit tool, could be an everyday player given his power and arm.
