"He caught in two World Series," Mackanin said. "He caught no-hitters. He has one of the best work ethics of any player I've ever been around. He is one of the most pleasant people to be around. He doesn't take his offense [when he's struggling] behind the plate with him. He takes a lot of pride in his defense and game-calling ability. That's something that's rare to find. That's a winning catcher."
