2023 Fantasy Outlook
He may not slot in here on real-life lists, but there's a decent case Naylor is the game's best catching prospect for fantasy. Not only does Naylor (younger brother of Josh) have a wide open path to as much MLB playing time as he can handle in 2023, but he has the speed to eventually be a five-category catcher. Naylor, who turns 23 in February, slashed .263/.392/.496 with a 23.7 K%, 16.1 BB%, 37.8 Hard% (elite), 21 home runs and 20 steals on 24 attempts in 118 games between Double-A and Triple-A. His batting average could be a weakness as a rookie, which is the case for the vast majority of quality catching prospects. However, he could go 15/15 if he plays 100-plus games, and the only other catchers who could realistically go 15/15 are J.T. Realmuto and Daulton Varsho, the first and third options at the position per early NFBC ADP. Read Past Outlooks
Sent back to Columbus
Naylor was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Naylor will head back to Columbus after he went 0-for-2 during Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets. The 23-year-old will certainly earn another shot in the big leagues later this season as he's batting .257 with nine homers, 32 RBI and 29 runs over 148 at-bats in 41 games with Columbus this year.

Stat Review
How does Bo Naylor compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2019 Fantasy Outlook
The younger brother of Josh Naylor, Bo has similar upside as a pure hitter (Josh is a career .284 hitter in the minors), but his ability to play catcher and third base puts much less pressure on his offense. Selected out of Ontario with the No. 27 overall pick in 2018, Naylor received an over-slot $2,578,137 bonus. The Indians primarily deployed him at catcher in the AZL, but he did get five starts at third base, so it seems they want to keep their options open. Naylor is a good athlete, which should serve him well behind the dish, and he has plenty of arm for the position, but like all prep catchers, he still has a lot of work to do as a framer and game caller. While Josh was drafted in the first round in 2015 on the strength of his huge raw power, Bo is seen as a hit-over-power prospect at this stage. His above-average speed led to five steals on six attempts in just 33 games, but he may slow down by the time he reaches the majors in 2022 or 2023.

Unlikely to break camp in majors
The Guardians would prefer for Naylor to open the year at Triple-A Columbus, where he could play consistently and get more reps under his belt before getting promoted to the majors for good sometime this summer, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. "He's 22 years old," manager Terry Francona said. "We told him it's not always on your timetable... but if you knock the door down, that sort of makes the timetable. But I think he's got a really good head situated really well. He's got a pretty good outlook."
