Scouting Report
Ulliana is a 6-foot-2 catcher who has a strong build and wide shoulders. Offensively, the catching prospect showcased the highest exit velocity of the day off of the tee (94 MPH) and the ball screams off his bat when barreled. He start with a slightly open stance and has a toe tap which gets him to even when he gets to his hitting position. Well loaded, Ulliana shows a constant attack mode, displaying bat speed and leverage in his swing. He had good extension and drives the ball consistently with gap-to-gap pop.

Defensively, Ulliana has shown the ability to be an above average receiver and thrower. His top pop time was a 1.94 down to second base and it is largely due to an excellent and consistent transfer time. His throws were on the bag and consistent in-game as well. He is an offensive catcher who should receive solid interest this summer.
