At San Lorenzo Valley: Looks ready to be one of the better catchers in the region with lots of upside over the next couple years. Only saw defensively, but made an exclamation point showing ability to handle high velocity and used glove tracking dirty sliders back into the zone to steal pitches. Blocking was solid, moving well laterally and I was most impressed with his anticipation for the game. Caught a runner at 2nd (2.25 Pop) showing off the strength in the arm on a pitch down and away; also backpicked a runner at 3rd when he did a great job selling out for a wide breaking ball to have him catch the runner too far off. Should be an interesting look this Summer as the frame is long and athletic with space for added strength.

FALL BALL - Long, medium frame showing high waist and lean muscle build. Athletic, young backstop with solid fundamentals and a chance to make some jumps. Behind the plate showed a strong arm with quick release; the footwork can continue to be cleaned up to lower his pop times and improve accuracy (2.16-2.26 Pop). The agility behind the plate showed up as well with strong blocking and lateral actions while also flashing some glove skills. At the plate worked with a high hands set up showing flared elbows using a high front foot lift and place; full swing through the zone with upward actions. Swing showed top hand strength when on time with the pitch and ability to create lift through contact. Athletic player that will improve with added strength.
