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

Hit: Below-average bat. Strikeout prone, does not impact the baseball.

Power: Below-average game power. Has some raw power but does not 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 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. Spent 2024 as a backup catcher in Worcester moving on and off the development list. Re-signed with the organization in January 2025 with an invitation to MLB Spring Training.

Summation: Triple-A depth catcher whose value comes from his strong defense and work with the pitching staff rather than in-game or in-lineup contributions. Type of player every organization needs.
