Timothy (TJ)
Carlson

5-foot-8, 145-pound catcher/ shortstop.  5.44 home to first time. Right handed hitter, long deep load with upper half.  Double tap stride with minimal weight shift through swing.  Tends to drop hands and swing uphill. Exit velocity of 72 mph. Balanced proper setup behind plate. Works to frame pitches and keep balls in zone.  Quality footwork and body position while blocking.  Low exchange with long arm action to second base. Lacks arm strength and accuracy producing velocity of 61 mph with pop times of 2.37-2.87. In the infield, sure hands but lacks fluidity.  Plays somewhat mechanical.  Lack of front side while throwing limits arm strength.
