Victor Caratini is fairly interesting

In 2014, Willson Contreras was starting his 6th season in the Cubs minor league system. He was starting A+ ball for the first time ever. The previous year, in A ball, he hit .248/.320/.423, for a wRC+ of 97. He wasn't a horrible prospect, but he profiled as perhaps a backup catcher at the major league level, and one who might never get through the filter of AA. In 2015, his seventh (!) year of minor league ball, he hit .333/.413/.478, exploded onto the prospect scene, and hit even better the next year en route to a midseason callup.
