That is a good point on the leadership characteristics of Exposito, ASF. One of the things that we heard Mike Hazen mention last year in his post-season interview on this Site when commenting on the development of the catchers was about the "nuances" of catching at the upper levels of the system. I think this is a pretty important piece of any catcher's development and I find it interesting that out of all the things you observed with Exposito, that was the thing that stuck out to you the most in your observation.

On the defensive development side of things for Exposito, one of the main things that has jumped out this season in terms of scouting has been in his arm action and release of the baseball. Exposito grades out as having an above average arm and one that should play up as a strong one at the MLB level. During warm-ups, he shows off a very nice arm down to second base. However, he struggles with the length of his arm action and rushing throws. This causes him to not get full power behind his throws and for them to tail into the runner from time to time. Cleaning up his technique and getting more fluid will be something he'll need to master to be a successful manager of the running game, and a key development point to watch going forward.
