Charlie
Welch

1/27/18- Pepperdine recruit. Stands at 6-foot, 200 pounds, he carries the weight well, with strong broad shoulders and a strong lower half. The frame looks the part of a durable catcher as defensively he shows flexibility. He is a solid receiver and had pop times ranging from 1.98-2.07. His hands works and has all the makings of a solid defensive catcher. Overall, his bat is his calling card. Setup slightly wider than shoulder width, he has a leg kick trigger and consistently gets on time. Sinks into the lower half and creates a party that generates natural loft and power. The swing is still compact while generating bat speed and had an exit velocity of 98 mph. Expect to see him come June as solid defensive catchers with power are normally favorites of professional scouts. 

10/23/16- South Carolina recruit. Double in each game day one for the Braves Scout Team.  Welch hits from a crouched stance, and utilizes a short, strong stroke to drive balls gap to gap.  Behind the dish, Welch is an advanced receiver with a strong arm, and natural feel for the position.  He also stole a base late in the night showing off his athletic ability.

4/8/15 - South Carolina commit. 5-foot-11 170 pounds with an athletic and lean body with some strength. Slightly open stance. Good rhythm and gets a nice separation. Gets into a strong hitting position. Good bat speed with a nice swing plane. Stays inside the ball well. Strong, accurate arm for his age.
