==Life and career==
Affectionately nicknamed "The Brick Wall" by his teammates, Payano has been an elite defensive catcher for many seasons. His combination of stellar fielding (88) and arm (89) ratings make him an ideal pickup for any team. At years old, his offensive production was never really his strong suit, but in Season 12 he had one of his best years in a while, where he hit .255 with 7 home runs, 17 RBI, and a .726 OPS in just 71 games.
Entering his 11th season in the league, Payano has served as a mentor to other young catchers around the league. While often overlooked as a backup, Payano is said to offer great advice for catchers continuing to polish their game.
Payano chose jersey number 61 because his father, Roberto, was born on June 1st.
