Scouting report
Camargo was the most anonymous member of the Maeda/Brusdar deal. He's a physical catcher who hit for some oppo power on the Dodgers' backfields before the trade. His bat head drags into the zone, which causes him to be late on a lot of fastballs, but Camargo is so strong that he can still make impact contact the other way. His exit velos were huge for a 20-year-old: 91 mph on average with a hard hit rate of 47%, which is a 65 on the scale. He needed lots of defensive work but the Twins had been pretty good at improving catchers' receiving under Tanner Swanson, who is now with the Yankees. Camargo never got a chance to go to an affiliate and show that he had improved, so he's still a late-blooming, pop-based lottery ticket for now. (Fall Instructional League)
