His pop times were between a 1.97-2.05. Catcher can continue to improve by gaining strength in his frame giving him additional arm strength. Right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance, getting back to even, uses a fluid hands back to shoulder trigger. Keeps swing level through the hitting zone, producing a top exit velocity of 82 mph. Weight has a tendency to leak forward and can benefit by improving overall balance in his swing mechanics. He ran a 4.53 down to first base.
