Scouting summary
Patrick Bailey projects as elite defensive catcher with Hall-of-Fame-caliber defensive prowess but limited offensive production.

More likely scenario is continued role as defense-first catcher with pitch-framing skills generating significant WAR despite below-average offensive output.
