Drafted in the 11th round (332nd overall) by the Kansas City Royals in 2018 (signed for $125,000)

Emodi is a strong catcher with a big, 6-foot-4, 225-pound frame that reminds everyone he was an all-state football player in high school. Like many backup catchers in pro ball, Emodi has plenty of power potential with plus raw power and he has a strong, 60-grade arm. And like many pro backup catchers, there are legitimate concerns about how much contact Emodi makes and how low his average will be. Emodi, a redshirt junior, hit .282/.376/.505 this season with nine home runs. Defensively he's a fringe-average receiver, but he is tough and reliable.
