Overview

Acevedo is an athletic catcher with upside on offense and defense. He got a moderate bonus, but Baseball America considered him a potential sleeper.

2024

Acevedo played in 32 games in his debut, 21 behind the plate. Other than drawing walks, of which he had just one less than he did strikeouts, he didn’t do well on offense, batting 189/381/203. He threw out only 16% of base stealers.
