Overview
Guzman was highly regarded for his defense as a prep catcher, although he wasn’t drafted. He initially went to Boston College, then switched to Arizona as a sophomore. He didn’t hit a lot in his first two years, but became the regular catcher as a junior and improved at the plate, batting 328/411/496. He’s had good contact rates and decent to good walk rates, and some pull power. He’s a strong receiver with a plus arm. Baseball America ranked Guzman 314th among draft prospects, FanGraphs 113th. MLB Pipeline didn’t have him ranked in their top 250. The slot value is $499K.
