Just turned 15 and already the best defensive catcher in the state. Led all catchers in pop-time (1.84s) and catcher velo (80mph), and the crazy thing is he could end up better offensively as the bat (LHH) could end up special. Sky is the limit for Watanabe and whispers are already being heard of Watanabe developing into the next great catcher out of Maui, since Kurt Suzuki.
