Since coming to the Detroit Tigers organization from Houston, Rogers has always seemingly been one crucial piece away from really making a breakthrough in his journey to the big leagues. That one piece being his bat.
Rogers has risen through the ranks in the Tigers’ system as a well-known defensive catcher with a tremendous arm, throwing out 55.6% of base stealers in 2018 with the Double-A Erie Seawolves. He also was the featured catcher in MLB Pipeline’s 2019 All-Defensive Team and is currently ranked #10 among catching prospects with a 65 grade for arm and 70 grade (out of 80) for fielding, according to MLB.
