Number one: He has to be able to control the running game. Most of this is just his arm, if he can't throw you are just putting lipstick on a pig with all those blocking drills---

If he can control the running game, then we move on to the higher level stuff; receiving, staying still, catching the low strike, leadership, defensive abilities handling bunts, giving positive body language to his pitcher, positive umpire relationship....

sure if he's an athletic stud it helps... but that's true about every position
