Scouting Report
Underclass Games (September 18, 2016)
Decker is a big bodied catcher at 5-foot-11 195-pounds. Has a plus arm for his age from behind the plate. Showed very well batting practice, launching baseballs into the gap and to the warning track at Rutgers. Offensively- sets up with a wide, opened stance with weight visibly on back leg. Hands equal with ear. Swing is violent, hips are loose and elastic; clear the zone with hands and shoulders still loaded - creates a rubber-band-like whip in swing. One of the best batting practices of the day and established himself as one of the top position player prospects from the event. Defensively- arm strength is apparent. Throws were firm with backspin and on the base. Footwork needs some cleaning up, but blocking skills are there. Just started catching full time this year - has picked up ability well.
