1/4/14 - Hartter is a 5-foot-7, 140-pound switch hitting catcher.  Behind the plate he put several throws on the bag with a top velocity of 72 mph and pop time of 2.15 using a fairly loose, short over-the-top throwing motion and fluid footwork.  Left-handed he hits with a short stride, right-handed he toe-taps then strides.  From both sides of the plate he showed a simple, fluid load and overall good balance.  His top exit velocity left-handed was 67 mph, right-handed 73.  Being the rare switch-hitting catcher with solid present skills, the undersized Hartter should climb the ladder as he adds size and strength.
