The Cubs ventured off the pitcher path to draft another catcher. Poteet redshirted in 2023 while at Vanderbilt and played sparingly in 2024. This past spring, he hit .283 with 10 home runs, 38 runs, and 40 runs batted in at UNC Charlotte. His flaw was striking out 50 times, which was only ten more than his walk total. Poteet will need to develop a way to be more aggressive at the plate while utilizing his advanced plate approach that yielded .393 on-base percentage this year.
