6-foot-1, 165-pound, a long lengthy athletic frame, has plenty of room for future development. A right-handed hitting catcher, showed to have feel behind the plate. The setup behind the plate is balanced, shows to be athletic and flexible back there. The hands are soft, receives with ease, gets around the baseball, hands go down first on the block and scrambles up quickly. The arm action is clean on the back, works out of a high ¾ slot, was clocked at 68 mph, could use more strength. Looks to stand up during transfer, staying lower throughout may help in reducing pop time, which was at 2.13-2.28. Throws were on the proper side of the bag. Offensively, the feet are in line, at shoulder width apart. For timing uses a toe tap, keeps weight back, stride is straight and gains ground with stride foot. The hands are loose at shoulder height, with the bat starting in a good loaded tilted position. The swing is level to up, creates backspin to the baseball. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 75 mph, collected two singles in game play, while being clocked at 4.81 on a ground ball. Look for the game to go to another level once strength is added.
