The Book on Tommy Joseph
Prospect Info
Tommy Joseph
Born 7/16/1991
C, SF
A high-school catcher with a tantalizing power bat (15 homers in 27 games in his senior year), the double-named Tommy Joseph was scooped up by the Giants out of Tim Alderson's old high school in 2009. In addition to his terrific raw power, ToJo displays a very strong throwing arm and shows signs of excellent leadership and discipline on the field. While the catcher's position in San Francisco would seem to be locked up for the foreseeable future, Joseph can also play a reasonable first base, and is athletic enough to learn third if necessary. He's some way away from the big leagues, but he shows every sign of being well-equipped to get there eventually
