Draft Preview - Catchers

Dave Roberts

High schooler from Dallas, Roberts has a great feel for the strike zone and knows when to lay off bad pitches.  He hits the ball with authority, above average power. He's an athletic catcher with an average arm.

Brian Joyce

Joyce has above average power and will take a walk but has trouble making contact.  He works well with pitchers but his arm is below average.

Clarence Aguilar

A high schooler from Alabama, he hits with tremendous power but is never going to hit for a high average. His arm is below average but he blocks and receives well.

Geoffrey Hertz

Tremendous power and will take a walk. Takes too many pitches looking for the perfect pitch to drive, and does not protect the plate well with two strikes.  His defense at catcher is well below average.

Bob Matheson

He's got a quick bat and above average power potential. Has drawn good reviews for his all around catcher defense, and has an above average throwing arm.

Vic Talley

Lean and athletic, Talley runs well for a catcher.  Doesn't swing at bad pitches and has some offensive potential. Has a chance to be a solid average defender.
