I thought I heard Preister was the real deal. Like go JUCO so he could get drafted early good. Is that not true? Haven’t heard much about him

Priester has the potential to be good defensively and offensively. I don't know what happened on draft day but I don't think it worked out as good as Priester had imagined which opened the door for Johnson to swoop in.

Priester is viewed as a developmental prospect. He could very well be our starting catcher next year but probably not this year. I know he saw a lot of action Sunday and a couple balls got by him, but that could have been more on the pitcher than him. The two at bats I remember Sunday he had a walk and a strike out.

Yes, Priester was thought to be picked high enough to skip college altogether. That didn't happen. He was heading to Meridian but JJ got to him. I think JJ laid out a plan that he liked - he's been very good at developing catchers the last few years. It's still early for him.
