5-foot-7, 165-pound, smaller, solid, athletic frame. The shoulders are rounded, strength throughout, shows to have some twitchyness to hands and wrists.

5-foot-7, 165 pounds, the shoulders have slope, the proportions are average, and he’s already beginning to add some strength to the upper body. As a catcher, the hands were soft and showed promise as a receiver. The arm was clocked at 68 MPH out of the chute. Solid first step and quick release from high ¾ slot. Pop time range sat between 2.03-2.16. Should improve naturally with more arm strength. In the box, Mongeon works from a slightly open stance with a noticeable knee bend. Two-part swing, he rocks back with a leg kick, as the hands extend backward. Can at times be late on the swing. Hands work from around shoulder height. Level-up swing. Solid hip rotation with one hand finish. Mongeon’s tee exit velocity was measured at 77 MPH. Proving the hit tool against live pitching will be important to his recruiting stock. Defensive skills behind the plate is his best tool right now. Will be monitoring physical development and offensive performance. Someone to keep an eye on as a promising catcher from the 2021 class.
