The Book on Derek Norris
Prospect Info
Derek Norris
Born 2/14/1989
C, WAS
He's only 20 years old, but after putting up a full-season .300/.406/.551 line (with 23 homers) at high-A Hagerstown in 2009, catcher Derek Norris is probably already the Nationals best hitting prospect. Of course, it's not a very deep pool. Norris is a patient slugger with a perfect catcher's build who's still working on his blocking and game-calling. He already sports a powerful arm, as shown when he threw out nearly half of all would-be basestealers last season. He's one to watch for in 2011 or so.
