Molinari

5-foot-11, 175-pound is a wiry strong, athlete. The shoulders are sloped, with the hands and wrists having serious strength to them. A left-handed hitting catcher/outfielder, his top tool is his bat. At the plate has a gap to gap approach, strikes the baseball extremely hard, made solid contact in batting practice and put together good at bats in game play. The stance is slightly closed off, back elbow is extended outward just so slightly. For timing uses a very small stride, picks foot up and places it right back down. The swing is flat through the zone with a higher two handed finish at the end. Drives the baseball extremely well to oppo gap. The tee exit velocity is good, clocked at 89 mph and ran a 4.44 down the line, showed an athletic kick and ran hard. Defensively, behind the plate, the setup is balanced, sits the flats of his feet. The hands are soft, receives the baseball with easy effort. The transfer is clean and quick, feet gain ground in transfer, are quick. The arm action is short, has more crank like look to it, arm has strength to it clocked at 75 mph from the chute, had pop times of 1.97-2.18. From the outfield, has a quick transfer, arm has solid carry, clocked at 78 mph, throws were on target. Projects for me more of a catcher, very valuable with the ability to play the outfield as well, good looking prospect.
