Jonathan Arencibia is a 6'1'' 210 pound C playing at the University of Tennesse. He is a right handed batter. He is all about the bat. Arencibia profiles as an offensive-minded catcher. Like most catchers, Arencibia is a slow runner. His defense is below average but good enough for him to stay behind the plate. Risky pick as he was supposedly no longer in the first round mix because of a back injury but lets hope the reward makes the risk worthwhile. Arencibia, who was also drafted by Seattle in the 17th round of the '04 Draft, finished his collegiate career as one of Tennessee's top hitters. He ranks third in school history in total bases (381), fourth in RBIs (165) and fifth in home runs (33). During his junior year, Arencibia hit .330 with eight homers, 42 RBIs and a .545 slugging percentage in 52 games.
