02/19/2017 - College PREP - Sugar Land (Houston), TX Rigoberto is a compact, athletic 2018 catching prospect. His athleticism is easy to see on the field as it comes through both behind the plate and on the bases with lots of speed and lateral agility. He is aggressive at the dish, looking to ambush pitchers early and he takes a big hack as he tries to drive the ball with every swing. His quick hands and fast bat through the zone, coupled with a direct path to the ball lead to spray tendencies with the ability to use all fields. Behind the plate, he has quick feet and agile movements to block well laterally and recover quickly to hold runners. He receives with a firm wrist to present the ball in the zone, as he works around well to buy extra strikes for his pitcher. Working on footwork to throw will result in decreased pop times and better control of the running game. Rigoberto is a prospect we want to keep an eye on moving forward.
