The 5-foot-7, 145 pound right-handed hitting catcher super talented behind the plate.  The arm strength was evident as he threw 82 mph down to second base.  The set up is balanced, with the glove in a good position.  Watching him during the game, he receives well and is soft blocking. When he throws to second base, the feet slide well under the hips and the glove to hand transfer is good.  He’s in line with second base and extends through his throws.  We had him at a 1.9-2.0 pop time.At the plate, he had an 84 mph tee exit velocity.  The set up is balanced and square.  The hands off the back shoulder and create movement with the bat pre-pitch.  The load is short and gets him into a good hitting position.  The bat path has lift and extends through contact.  During the BP he showed the ability to drive the ball gap to gap.  He also ran a 4.8 second home to first base.This is one of the best catchers of his class.  He moves well behind the plate, receives well and the arm strength is plus.

5-foot-7, 145-pound right-handed hitting catcher. Ran a 7.45 sixty at the event. The receiving is improving as he continues to work on securing the catch. The throwing is above average at his age, threw 79 mph down to second base with a pop time of 1.95. The feet can continue to improve and the release is quick and simple. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 87 mph. The setup is even in base, front foot steps into the swing. The path is slightly uphill but he shows plus hand speed to the ball. He accelerates the hands through the ball. Very good prospect.

5-foot-7 ,145-pound right-handed hitting catcher.  Showed extremely well at the event. Ran a 7.7 sixty on the laser at the event. Threw 76 mph down to second base during the catching portion of the defensive workout. The arm is short with plenty of strength to it, above average at his age. The pop time is 2.02 and accurate with the throws. The receiving is solid at this juncture, can continue to improve as he matures. The frame is solid for the position. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 79 mph, as additional physical strength gains are warranted. The setup is open with the front, uses a pick up and put down of the front foot as the ball approaches. The hands work simple and the bat path is flat to the ball. Took good swing in batting practice and in live play.
