There's currently one MLB catcher who averages better than a 1.85 pop time. Realmuto and that's it. You never know but he pretty clearly has elite power and an elite arm. It's not like they went cheap to take a middling light hitting 2B with speed. It's definitely a serious risk but I like it better than some other ways they could have gone.

I honestly don't care about that. It'd be different if it was a prep pitcher for sure. That's a different beast. There aren't many prep catchers (or major league catchers) with that arm. Unless there's some program specific reason why someone isn't learning baseball or football a certain way, I don't see the logical reason why a HS catcher can't have success. Our player development worries me far more than the prep catcher thing. They obviously went for a guy with tools they want to try and coach up.

Weird. You always like power guys over a bunch of second baseman types.
