Baseball America Praises Pirates for Drafting Tony Sanchez

33

"He's a guy who rated much higher with scouts than we would've thought, maybe, on his defense. We thought his defense was good, but scouts were like no, it's really good... "If this guy hits, they're going to have one of the best players in the draft, and it's really hard to find a 70 defense catcher." That's about 21 minutes in. "70 defense" refers to the 20-to-80 scouting scale; 70 means excellent. If Sanchez starts the year hitting, people are going to start hopping on the bandwagon quickly. Via.
