Comments |
Hitting Ability: | Paramore is a switch-hitter, better from the right side, who has a good game plan at the plate and is able to spray line drives to all fields. He's particularly good with runners in scoring position and rarely strikes out. |
Power: | He has not shown much power in the past. |
Running Speed: | He is below average. |
Base running: | He's not a bad baserunner, but his speed makes him a clogger. |
Arm Strength: | He's got average arm strength, but is very, very accurate and has a quick release time. |
Fielding: | Paramore could handle catching in the big leagues right now. He's got soft hands and positions himself perfectly behind the plate |
Range: | He moves effortlessly and makes it look very easy. |
Physical Description: | Paramore is a big, sturdy catcher built for durability. |
Medical Update: | Healthy. |
Strengths: | Off the charts defense, all around. Handles the bat well and has a very good approach |
Weaknesses: | It doesn't look like he'll hit for much power and he's not as good a hitter from the left side. |
Summary: | These numbers may sum him up: In his first two seasons, he committed four total errors and walked 17 times more than he struck out. While he has a good game plan and handles the bat fine, particularly from the right side, it's his all-around defensive acumen that should interest scouts the most. |
