    View Draft Report
    Jaramillo is solid in all phases in the game, which is why he'll likely go in the second round as the first college catcher. He combats the running game with solid arm strength, a quick release and an accurate arm. His receiving and blocking skills are also assets. He has called his own games this spring and has grown into a leadership role. Add it all up, and Jaramillo is the best defender among the top college prospects in the draft. He's no slouch offensively, either. A switch-hitter, he's sound from both sides of the plate and has some juice in his bat.
