  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Short, stocky frame. Strong lower half. Filled out, minimal remaining projection.

Hit: Starts square and in a slight crouch with his hands high. Leg kick timing device. Solid bat speed. Shorter, compact swing path. Strong contact ability. Rarely whiffs in-zone. Approach is still developing. Elevated chase rate and is susceptible to breaking pitches. Potential average hit tool.

Power: Sneaky power for his size, but mainly gap-to-gap right now. Produces solid-average exit velocities for his age. Can elevate and has good batted ball angles. Potential fringe-average power potential.

Run: Below-average speed. Not a major part of his game.

Field: Capable receiver and blocker. Soft hands, moves well behind the plate. Potential average defensive profile. Has also played first base a decent amount, but does not project nearly as well there.
  Arm: Strong arm with a quick release. Consistently records pop times around 1.9 seconds. Above-average arm strength.

Career Notes: Played in the 2026 Spring Breakout game and started the 2026 Futures at Fenway South game.

Summation: Potential up-and-down depth catcher. Ceiling of a second division regular who contributes on both sides of the ball. Intriguing skillset for a catcher. Has upside at the plate if he can refine his approach and continue on his current defensive trajectory.
