Rivera has been recognized as one of the top 2013 prospects for quite some time, and continues to show promise as he continues to add strength to his frame. He offers pro potential both as a hitter and as a pitcher, with the ability to consistently throw in the low-90s with a hard breaking curveball, while also showing emerging pull power at the plate. A heady player with a natural sense for the game, many believe he could be a natural behind the plate as a catcher.
