Organization Prospect Rankings

Track Record: Genoves advanced a level per season through 2018 before reaching full-season ball in 2019. After spending 2020 at instructional league, Genoves spent most of 2021 at the Class A levels and had early success at Low-A San Jose before hitting a wall at High-A Eugene..
Scouting Report: Genoves’ skill set is perfectly suited for a backup catcher’s role. He’s a thicker-bodied catcher who needs to improve his blocking and become more mobile—as shown by the 26 passed balls he allowed—and quicker to unwrap his body for throws to second base. His timing is good at the plate, but his bat speed is a little short and he relies on his strength to drive balls to the gaps and over the wall. Genoves’ power sometimes gets him into trouble. He often tries to hit home runs, which causes him to sell out for pull-side power when he should be focusing on using the whole field.
The Future: Genoves is likely to move to Double-A Richmond in 2022. He’ll look to improve his blocking and become more consistent at the plate.
-
TRACK RECORD: Genoves signed with the Giants for $550,000 in 2015, the second highest bonus the club awarded that year behind the $6 million they gave since-traded shortstop Lucius Fox. Genoves made it to low Class A as a 19-year-old and earned a non-roster invitation to spring training in 2020. He returned to Arizona for instructional league in the fall.
SCOUTING REPORT: As an amateur, Genoves built his reputation on a strong defensive foundation that gave him a chance to be an above-average catcher. He has lived up to that billing throughout his career, and in 2019 allowed just eight passed balls while throwing out 41% of attempted basestealers. He's shown well with the bat throughout his career, too, and has average power out of a strong, righthanded frame. Genoves also earns high marks for his baseball IQ and ability to handle velocity.
THE FUTURE: Genoves has a future as a potential backup catcher who can handle a staff, control the running game and occasionally send a ball out of the park. He'll move to high Class A in 2021.
