Bo Naylor Stats

Cleveland Guardians catcher prospect Bo Naylor had his contract selected from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday and made his major league debut against the Kansas City Royals. Naylor came in for Luke Maile in the sixth inning and went hitless in two at-bats, striking out once. The 22-year-old had a very nice season in the minors, slashing .263/.392/.496 while adding 21 homers and 20 steals. If he is given an opportunity to start for the Guardians next season, he could be a sleeper at the catcher position with his power/speed combo. It is worth keeping an eye on this situation during the postseason and next spring.

Cleveland Guardians catching prospect Bo Naylor is in Cleveland and is on the team's taxi squad at the moment. Skipper Terry Francona hinted that the team was having discussions about whether to add a third catcher to the active roster. Naylor, the team's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, would be joining backstops Austin Hedges and Luke Maile. It's uncertain how much playing time Naylor might actually get to close out the regular season, but the 22-year-old left-handed-hitting catcher has hit .257/.366/.514 with an .880 OPS, 15 home runs, 47 RBI, 44 runs scored and nine stolen bases in his 66 games for Triple-A Columbus this year.
