2/28/15- MN Preseason All-State
6-foot, 195-pound catcher who ran a 8.16 60. Very active load in swing. Ultimately effects timing. Does good job of staying down and through balls at contact. Average pop with mid-away approach. 78 mph exit velocity off tee. Ok flexibility. Thumb gets underneath receiving. Would benefit from keeping elbow down and hand up while receiving pitches. Showed good footwork and exchanges were clean. Arm stroke is long at times in this event. Average arm strength at 71 mph with good accuracy to the bag.
