Focus Area Comments
Hitting Ability: Paramore is a switch-hitter, better from the right side, who
has a good game plan at the plate and is able to spray line
drives to all fields. He's particularly good with runners in
scoring position and rarely strikes out.
Power: He has not shown much power in the past.
Running Speed: He is below average.
Base running: He's not a bad baserunner, but his speed makes him a clogger.
Arm Strength: He's got average arm strength, but is very, very accurate and has
a quick release time.
Fielding: Paramore could handle catching in the big leagues right now. He's got
soft hands and positions himself perfectly behind the plate
Range: He moves effortlessly and makes it look very easy.
Physical Description: Paramore is a big, sturdy catcher built for durability.
Medical Update: Healthy.
Strengths: Off the charts defense, all around. Handles the bat well and has a
very good approach
Weaknesses: It doesn't look like he'll hit for much power and he's not as good
a hitter from the left side.
Summary: These numbers may sum him up: In his first two seasons, he committed
four total errors and walked 17 times more than he struck out. While
he has a good game plan and handles the bat fine, particularly from
the right side, it's his all-around defensive acumen that should
interest scouts the most.

SCOUTING REPORT (3/1): Paramore’s status as the top college catcher in the
2008 draft crop took a hit last summer when he batted a weak .111-0-3 as Team
USA’s primary receiver. He went hitless in his final 25 at-bats. That was a
far cry from his sophomore season at Arizona State, where he hit .379-6-52,
drove the ball well from both sides and topped the Sun Devils with a .500
on-base average. He has an excellent eye for the strike zone and did walk 20
times for Team USA in 23 games, but he often became too patient at the plate
and fell behind in counts. More than anything, a combination of fatigue and an
aluminum-bat swing combined to doom Paramore in the summer. While he has shown
good bat speed and raw power in college, his balls had little or no carry last
summer with wood—even when he squared them up. Scouts say he needs to add
strength and develop a better load to generate greater bat speed in the future.
He had just one extra-base hit in 63 at-bats. He spent much of the fall
building up his strength and tightening up his swing. In contrast to his
offensive struggles, Paramore excelled defensively with Team USA. He has
excellent receiving and blocking skills because he possesses extremely soft
hands and excellent footwork. He also has a strong, accurate arm. Moreover, he
understands the game, how to handle a pitching staff and exploit opposing
hitters. Paramore was scheduled to share the catching duties again this spring
at ASU with powerful junior Kiel Roling, who hit 16 homers in 2007, and will
need to re-establish his offensive worth.—ALLAN SIMPSON
UPDATE (5/15): Paramore enjoyed a solid spring in all phases of his game and
scouts began likening his tools and approach to that of Boston Red Sox all-star
catcher Jason Varitek. He has a thorough knowledge and understanding of the
game, and the respect and trust of his pitching staff. He had a way of slowing
down the game defensively. Paramore doesn’t have pure arm strength, but has a
smooth, solid release and threw the ball exceptionally well. He had solid
at-bats from both sides and was a patient, situational hitter capable of
spraying the ball around the field. He walked a team-high 50 times while
hitting .333-7-44 overall (through mid-May). Above all, he plays a tough
position, and plays it well defensively.—AS
