Scouting Report
Had good size for a catcher (6-4, 235 pounds) and displayed home-run power at lower levels. Called a good game behind the dish. Did not walk a lot because he was somewhat of a free swinger at the plate. Ran like most catchers--slowly. Was a limited talent.
Long Range Potential: Journeyman, depth catcher.
