  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Scouting Report: Average catcher's build. Solid athlete who has some projection remaining. Limited offensive potential. Does not chase and works at-bats; will take a walk. Has swing-and-miss in his game and struggles against good velocity and spin. Drives the ball with backspin. Moves well behind the plate. Slightly above-average pop times. Could stand to quicken his throwing motion. Saw some time at third base as well in 2024 due in part to injuries to other players. Was committed to Kansas City (Kan.) Community College before signing. Participated in the Fall Performance Program in 2021. Repeated the FCL in 2022. Plays winter ball in his native Puerto Rico each offseason. Well-liked teammate and locker room leader. Bilingual; able to communicate with and facilitate communication between English- and Spanish-speaking teammates. Potential low-minors organizational player. Ceiling of a high-minors organizational catcher. Type of player every organization needs who can move between levels and provide solid defense at catcher while providing a positive locker room presence.
   Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
