Scouting Report

08/06/17- FIU recruit. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound catcher has a high-waist and extremely projectable frame. Defensively, he shows above average receiving skills and flexibility for his size. His pop time was 2.2, but the arm strength is there and was accurate. It will continue to improve as the transfer to release and footwork improves. Offensive, the right-handed hitter he has present strength with long levers. He shows the ability to stay short to the ball and use his length as leverage generating present pull power with more to come. This translated to the game with multiple hard hit balls including a double over the left fielder’s head. Overall, very projectable all around and should hit with future power.  

03/10/17 - The high waisted, projectable catcher stood out immediately. He has a flexible setup, especially for a big kid, where he sits low with a good target. He has plus hands for his class and really projects to be an above average receiver. He has an extremey clean, quick, easy transfer. The arm will need to get stronger but the transfer and footwork really works. Offensively, the right handed hitter has some length in the swing, but the path works and projects to have power. Very high follow.
