What makes O'Conner one of the top prospects in the system?
Top catching prospects are hard to come by, and you can never have too many of them. The Rays are lucky enough to have one of the top ones in Justin O'Conner. Even though there are some things that still need to be improved upon, O'Conner has already impressed enough to be listed as the No. 7 catcher in the minors, per mlb.com's rankings.
Here is the consensus:O'Conner has the best arm of any catcher in the minor leagues. He gets out of his stance quickly and has a cannon of an arm.
