Scouting Report

9/17/17 PBR FALL CHAMPIONSHIPS: The young backstop receives with soft hands while presenting a wide target and is nimble behind the plate. Bode’s presence in the box makes him seem larger than his 5-foot-10, 150-pound listed size. He crouches down in an athletic stance before squaring off with a reverse toe tap with his hands fluently loading down and back into a power position before exploding through the zone with a short stride. He laced a single up the middle and shows a flat barrel through the zone with gap-to-gap power. There was no questioning his threat each time he stepped to the plate. 

8/2/17 PBR FUTURE GAMES:
 Bode showed quick, powerful hands at the plate from the left side with proportional strength throughout his developing frame. Mooney showed some feel for the barrel at the plate, and demonstrated solid movements in the field
