QUOTE BOAT
“We are always looking for catching and (Neftali) Soto showed the mental aptitude, desire and physical tools to try it. So far the results have been positive and he has been very natural back there. Having Pat Kelly with him on a daily basis is also a plus.” – Terry Reynolds, Reds senior director of player development & global scouting (Better Off Red)
