| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 20 | 40 | Cold-weather prep bat acclimating to pro pitching; has batspeed and some hitting tools, just on a longer development curve; strong cut through zone w/ hard game contact and easy hang time when squared. |

| Game Power | 30 | 40 | Uppercut path is well-suited to lift the ball for power. Has strength and potential for raw to develop game power, but isn't fully coming into games yet. |

| Raw Power | 40 | 50 | Still growing into raw, shows flashes of what could get to avg power in BP. Works up on the ball w/ loose whip to swing; jumps off the barrel; more coming as he fills out. |

| Run | 40 | 40 | Didn't see hard 90 in short look. Catcher w/ broad lower-half, not big part of his game. |

| Field | 40 | 50 | Developing defender behind the plate, like his frame and actions for the position. Sits low, flexible lower-half w/ lateral agility, receives fairly soft w/ some present sense of framing. Will pick at balls too much and has overall adjustments to make, but shows tools to catch at ML level. |

| Throw | 40 | 45 | Throwing mechanics are erratic, causing wide variance in game pop times (1.9-2.1). Crossed up footwork, throws across body at times, limited present accuracy. Has some raw arm-strength to work with but needs to iron out mechanics. |

Overall Summary
Young, physical catcher w/ power potential and chance to stick at the position. More pieces than final product at this time, but projects well and has interesting tools to follow.
