Caleb Ricketts
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Ricketts’ most plausible route is as an offense-oriented catching depth option, with his contact history and occasional pull-side power giving him a chance to contribute if the bat rebounds. His solid receiving, blocking, and game-management reputation provides a foundation, though limited mobility and below-average arm strength make him a fringe defensive fit rather than a carrying glove. The recent upper-minors strikeout and on-base concerns narrow the margin for error, especially if he must shift toward first base or designated hitter, where the bat would need to carry more weight. A backup or up-and-down outcome is the realistic ceiling; failure to regain consistent contact leaves him as organizational depth.
