Athletic enough to play multiple positions with a plus arm but projects to stay at catcher.  Plus contact and plate discipline.  Worked on getting stronger this offseason and off to a hot start to the college season.  Whether his power will emerge is the biggest question mark, but a plus defensive catcher with that kind of contact and plate discipline is a valuable asset, especially if he hits lefty.  The ultimate Giantsy pick for #16.
