TRACK RECORD: Clementina signed with the Dodgers for $50,000 in 2013 and spent four years in Rookie ball before the Reds acquired him for Tony Cingrani at the 2017 trade deadline. After showing power in his full-season debut in 2018, Clementina hit 14 home runs in the Florida State League.
SCOUTING REPORT: Clementina's calling card is his near top-of-the-scale power. He grinds out at-bats, but he has an inconsistent approach and doesn't make enough contact to be more than fringe-average as a hitter. His physically mature body limits his mobility as a catcher. Even though his arm is average, he threw out just 14 percent of would-be base stealers. His has strong hands but needs to improve his receiving skills.
THE FUTURE: Clementina's defense needs more reps, but his power may help him hit enough home runs to stick in a backup role in the majors. He'll move to Double-A in 2020. -
Track Record: Acquired in the 2017 trade that sent lefthander Tony Cingrani to the Dodgers, Clementina has performed well in the Reds' system. After spending all of last season in rookie ball, he adjusted well to full-season competition.
Scouting Report: Clementina shows plus-plus raw power that should translate into 16-20 home runs a year eventually. His hit tool is below-average but he still manages to grind out quality at-bats. Defensively he has to work on pitch calling and staying focused from pitch to pitch, but there are the tools and desire to catch. Clementina is a big-bodied catcher who is a little limited by his size. He's raw defensively, but he's shown steady improvement. His body works behind the plate and his arm grades as average. Good hands allow him to be an above-average pitch framer.
The Future: Clementina is big for a catcher, so he'll have to work hard to stay on top of his body. He has the ability to be a future backup catcher with power potential.
