Scouting report
Felipe Barrera III, aka "Tres," was a three-year starter at Texas and slowly usurped bat-first Raudy Read as the Nationals' third catcher on the 40-man. He's performed above the league average at each of his minor league stops, including at Double-A in 2019. He spent 2020 on the restricted list serving a suspension for using a banned substance and played a little bit of winter ball in the Dominican Republic. Barrera has barrel utility middle away, and that's about it. On defense, he is a traditional squatter and an average receiver with above-average ball-blocking skills. He's capable of popping 1.9s to second base, which is above average. He has a backup catcher ceiling due to the lack of impact offense, and is really more of a third catcher, but Barrera will probably be have a long big league career hopping around to different 40-man rosters in one of those roles.
