12/27/2007 - Christmas Camp and Tournament - 2007 Vargas has present strength on a compact to medium frame. He was aggressive at the plate, and his combination of a compact stroke, good bat speed and good lower half usage allowed him to show gap power. Behind the plate, he setup well and showed some arm strength. He lowered his best release time down from 2.37 to 2.24, thanks to a quick exchange and improved footwork. He moved down easily to block, and has room to improve his hands for receiving. Overall, a capable defensive catcher with some power at the plate.
