looks to be transforming into a two-way talent. He struck out six in 3.1 innings of relief on Sunday, featuring a 90-92 mph fastball while getting swings and misses via a low-spin 73-77 mph curveball. He then finished the game behind the plate after also starting Friday’s game at that spot against Oklahoma State. Although he previously played primarily left field during his collegiate career at Arizona State, he’s an athletic backstop with good speed and a strong arm behind the dish.  
8/01/22

Cape Cod: Finished the season with a .182 average in nine games over 33 at-bats. He struggled with spin, but showed very good present body strength, average raw power and above average arm strength from left field.

9/13/20

In addition to his catch/throw/hit talents and big bat speed at the plate, Rogers was up to 92 mph on the bump, showing off his impressive arm strength in one inning of relief. After impressing all summer long on the prep circuit, the Arizona State is likely to be considered for the top three rounds for the 2021 draft.

9/01/20

Present strength. Elite skills as a catcher blocking and receiving. Not afraid to use his arm and back picked a runner off second base. A controlled powerful line-drive swing.

Average bat speed with good bat strength produced consistent hard contact; 101.5 max exit velocity during BP with furthest distance at 375’.

Has necessary tools/skills to become a better than average defender behind the plate with plus power potential in the batter’s box.
