In the New York Penn League last season he threw out 47 percent of basestealers, but does not block pitches well. "Some club officials question whether he will stick behind the plate long term." So someone in the front office isn't sure he is a catcher. That is from the BA Prospect Handbook.</p> Pilchard, Norris was a 3B in high school until his senior year, but BA says he has the tools to learn to catch.

No need to hold Norris back, he's ready for the P-Nats now.</p> Bill W.- Why can’t they start at Potomac and come up together? No need to hold Norris back, he’s ready for the P-Nats now.

He's 20 for the whole year, now hitting 295/387/376 after hitting 283/371/322 in the GCL last year. Hopefully he develops a little more pop, but with how thin we are 2B he could make a name for himself this year.</p> <p>Combine him with Demny and thats 2 good JUCO picks from last year</p> Im becoming intrigued by Lombardozzi.

I'm telling you this kid is a future star. I even call him "Little baby Matt Wieters" O's fans don't like that so much, but I don't care. I see this kid as having a big upside. I can see Strasburg pitching to him in Potomac later this summer.</p> Nice to see you giving Derek Norris a little love. I’m telling you this kid is a future star.
