    View Draft Report
    Praytor is an offensive-oriented catcher with above-average raw power and solid bat-to-ball skills that allow him to get to most of that. He hit 14 home runs this spring with Alabama and posted a .277/.375/.531 line, and was off to a strong start offensively in the shortened 2020 season as well. He has impressive bat speed and sprays line drives all over the field with a simple swing. There are questions about his defensive ability thanks to his size (5-foot-10, 205 pounds) and some stiffness that could create challenges with blocking but he does have a solid-average arm with a quick release.
