Medium frame at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds. Has good bat speed and quick hands from the left side. Showed ability to backside and peppered the opposite field during BP. Body control needs work, especially in the lower half, as he had a tendency to lunge forward and lose his lower half strength. Hands currently make up for lower half, but will need to make improvements. Defensively, he has a chance to stick behind the plate with some quickness in the transfer and potential in the feet. Arm will improve.
Laced a hard single to right field in his second at bat. Messina is a left handed hitting catcher that already shows a good feel for hitting. The swing path works well and he has the makings to be an advanced hitter. Behind the plate, Messina showed soft hands and a quick release on his throws. Messina has all the makings to be a very good two way catcher.
