Scouting Report

Behind the plate, Mitchell has a quick exchange paired with an accurate arm. He has shown the ability to make quality blocks on tough pitches. At the plate, Mitchell has shown some natural power and feel for the barrel while driving balls in the gap. Mitchell has a prototypical catchers body right now with a stout lower half but moves athletically and bounces around on the field. 
There is plenty more to come as Mitchell continues to grow and mature as a ball player.
