Troutwine was the ninth round pick for the White Sox in the 2018 draft, and his hitting ability was as good as advertised. After the draft, Troutwine hit .316/.412/.419 for the Voyagers with two homers, 18 RBIs, 19 walks, and 20 strikeouts over 117 at-bats. Troutwine destroyed southpaws in an admittedly small sample size, sporting a .471/.625/.588 slash line.
Troutwine is considered a slightly below-average defensive catcher, but allowed just two passed balls during his 34 games behind the plate in 2018; he did allow 45 stolen bases on his watch, stopping attempted thefts 23.
