View Draft Report
A physical, 6-foot-1, 195-pound catcher, Driscoll has an above-average arm and solid receiving skills to go along with raw power that comes from a strong righthanded swing. At George-Mason Driscoll calls his own game and coaches are impressed with how he handles a staff, throws and blocks behind the plate. He has a solid track record of hitting in the Atlantic 10 and posted a .339/.462/.600 line with nine home runs and more walks than strikeouts this spring. However, he struggled with a wood bat in a 28-game stint in the Cape Cod League last summer, hitting just .204/.250/.235 with 19 strikeouts and four walks.
Top Rankings
Organization Prospect Rankings
-
TRACK RECORD: Driscoll started all three years at George Mason and became the school's highest-drafted player when the Padres selected him 73rd overall, nine picks higher than fellow catcher Chris Widger in 1992. Driscoll signed for $600,000 and delivered 19 extra-base hits in 39 games at short-season Tri-City to earn a late invitation to the Arizona Fall League, where he homered twice in his first game. The Rays acquired him with Manuel Margot after the season in the trade that sent Emilio Pagan to San Diego.
SCOUTING REPORT: Driscoll is a built like a hunk of granite with a muscular, protruding chest, bulging biceps and thick forearms. He takes a patient, contact-first approach from the left side and lets his natural strength provide his average power. He is a disciplined hitter who recorded more nearly as many walks (74) as strikeouts (75) in college. Driscoll called his own games at George Mason and runs a staff well, but his bulky build generates split opinions whether he can stay behind the plate. His setup needs work and his receiving is adequate at best. His above-average arm and blocking ability are two strengths in his favor.
THE FUTURE: Driscoll has a chance to be a serviceable catcher who provides thump with his bat. He'll move to full-season ball in 2020.
