Scouting Report on Fascia
Dawson Fascia RHP/C (Turner Fenton, Ontario 2015)
Fascia stands 5-foot-9 177 pounds and has a fastball ranging from 68-71 mph. He is a strike thrower with all pitches mixing in a curveball at 60 mph. He has a nice tempo in his delivery but needs to keep his front side closed longer and stay on target longer (Falls to 1b).
C/Hitting - Fascia shows good footwork and a fast release, an accurate arm with a pop time of 2.34. Has some bat lag but stays inside the ball nice. Exit velocity of 76 mph of the tee. He has a nice approach and stays balanced.

Analysis:
Fascia projects as a catcher at the next level pending on how his arm strength comes along. If he can decrease his pop time and increase his arm strength, the left handed hitting catcher will be fine. He already shows proper footwork, a clean transfer, and a desire for the game to get better. Increased strength of the total body will be key for him moving forward. This off season will be a big one for Fascia.
