Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Tyler Jennings
Age: 25 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 178 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 Draft - Round 3, LAD
RuleV: Eligible
Physical Description: Small for a catcher at 6'1" and just shy of 180 pounds. Skinny, athletic frame, but not much projection remaining to his body. Plays second and third base as well. Smaller frame allows for some more fluid movement.
Hit: Moderately wide stance at the plate, leg kick is his trigger. Hands moved to a higher starting point after trade from Dodgers, where his hands started low during his load. Swing is long and his approach is aggressive, which hampers the hit tool. Genuine concern for swings and misses, will need to refine his approach. Grade: 40
Power: Dodgers worked with Wong to give his swing more loft and to lift the ball more into the air. Swing is loose. He has shown solid raw power to all fields, but in game power will likely not be more than average due to contact concerns. Further adjustments will be needed if he wants to tap more into his power. Grade: 50
Field: Versatility is key for Wong. Primarily a catcher, he has played at second and third base in the past. Moves well for a catcher behind the plate. Receiving and framing skills are fringe-average, but have improved and could become average. Smooth hands in the field too, but likely will be placed behind the plate. Grade: 50
Arm: Average arm strength behind the plate. Works well for second base, too. Has worked on throwing as he has progressed, but likely won't reach a higher grade than what it is. Grade: 50
Run: Has shown off speed in the past, particularly in college at Houston, where he stole 26 bases in his final season on campus. Moves well, but will become an average asset as he gets older. Not likely to be a menace on the basepaths. Grade: 50
Overall: Wong's versatility will make him a future utility piece for the Red Sox. Hit tool will carry the most questions as he progresses. Will be interesting to see how far improvements behind the plate with receiving, framing, and throwing progress as well.
