Prospect Blueprint Scouting Report

Elite Defensive Player just like his twin brother Cato. Trained in the infield with Omar Vizquel and at catcher with Rick Dempsey. Remarkable athleticism in the infield, and behind the dish with a pop time that can vary from 1.74-2.00 depending on the pitch. Phenomenal glove with a quick release, and accurate from all release points at SS/3B/2B. As a catcher, runners advance only if the pitch is well off target or the pitcher is slow to the plate. Advanced IQ on the field. Extremely agile and smooth with a strong arm. Good range, and the ultimate utility player who can start anywhere.

Has some power on inside pitches and pulls most of his homeruns. Should supply a good volume of extra-base hits but it all depends on weather and field type. He’s fickle with batting stances, but when he’s concave, and low in his stance with his hands back at the top of the strike zone, he is a very difficult out and can hit for a high average. He hits best early, but can drag a pitcher deep into counts, and wins a lot more than he loses. His K-rate is extremely low. Making him take pitches is not recommended. He will have a higher OBP hitting freely than he will taking on hitter’s counts pan-handling for walks. He can go off on lengthy hitting streaks in the most important times of the season and comes through in key situations with regularity.
