President, New York

The 2017 ENY All-Star Games took place Sept. 17 at Marist College. Over 60 high-end prospects took the field showing off their skill-sets in front of our PBR NY scouting staff and nearly a dozen college coaches. As the smoke continues to clear, we are fast-at-work piecing together all the scouting data we collected more than three weeks prior. Today we highlight yet another player who's performance earns an extra look.

ENY All-Star Games (September 17, 2017) Standing 6-foot-1, 170-pounds with an athletic frame from behind the dish. At the plate he uses a slightly open stance, loose free moving hands. Slight stride back to even on the pitch. Short compact path to the ball, barrel works slightly uphill with power projection to the gaps, 88 mph exit velocity off a tee. Catching, receives with confidence, soft glove. Quick footwork, transfer is clean with a release from a 3/4 slot, shows the ability to throw from knees. 74 mph arm from behind the plate with a pop-time on the day ranging 1.95 - 2.03 with accuracy to the 1B-side of the bag. Overall, the catching prospect from the greater Albany area, a recent Stony Brook Commit, will need to continue to add strength and size over the next 2 years, but the raw tools are visibly present.
