4/14/15 GAME NOTES: 2018 catching prospect stands 6-foot and is strong for a freshman. Behind the plate receives the ball confidently with soft hands and good footwork. Arm is average and long but will improve with age and experience behind the dish. Pop times of 2.4 and 2.35. Throws on target. At the plate uses a slightly open stance with a short load and stride. Good balance and above average bat speed. Sound technique offensively makes the RHH a consistent singles and doubles hitter who will be counted on to drive in runs as he gets stronger. Worth following over the next three years.
