Born 2/10/1992

Bats: S

Throws: R

 

OVERVIEW/SCOUTING INFO

Narvaez is a good defensive catcher with a strong arm that can shut down an opposing team's running game. He has thrown out 49% of attempted base stealers across his minor league career. Offensively, Naraez is a switch hitter, though he is much stronger from the left side. He is excellent at making contact, owning a extremely low 9% strikeout rate over his career. Naraez has not displayed much power, only homering four times in 261 professional games.

 

SIGN/DRAFT

Narvaez was signed as an international free agent out of Venezuela by the Tampa Bay Rays on July 4th, 2008. He was acquired by the Sox in AAA portion of the 2013 Rule V draft.

 

MINORS

Narvaez was 16 years old when he was signed, so the Rays were very slow with his development, having him repeat different versions of their Rookie ball until 2013. In 2013 he was assigned to low-A Hudson Valley, where he split catching duties and appeared in 39 games, slashing .267/.311/.333. After the White Sox drafted him the Rule V draft, he was assigned to Low-A Kannapolis, where he hit similarly, posting a .291/.331/.315. line. He was then promoted to High-A Winston-Salem where he homered twice in his debut.
