| Hit | 30 | 40 | Slow bat, more strong than quick through zone; doesn’t adjust barrel well, struggles w/ off-speed; can project some on hit tool given age, but won’t ever be a big hit/on-base producer. |

| Run | 30 | 30 | Near bottom-of-the-scale runner; already wide through lower-half w/ chance to slow down even more as catching takes a toll; could be a clogger at maturity. |

| Field | 45 | 50 | Big target to throw to, still gets low and shows soft enough hands to project an avg big league defender. Question blocking and lateral agility if frame doesn’t trim up. |

Overall Summary
Physicality and raw power potential are interesting at catcher; concerned about soft body and limited athleticism; don’t think he dominates one side of the ball enough for full-time ML role. Projects as upper-level depth w/ potential for callup value. Follow grade.
