Fones

Fones was the most polished catching prospect at the event, as he showed well in all facets of the game.  Defensively, the 6-foot-1, 170-pound Fones displayed soft hands and athletic feet behind the plate while receiving bullpens, along with good instincts blocking balls in the dirt. He also showed carry on his throws (76 mph) while delivering consistent pop times on the bag, ranging between 1.92, 1.93, and 2.01. Offensively, he demonstrated a balanced, level swing with excellent barrel whip through the zone. He consistently squared up the ball while driving the ball to all fields.

All State Invitational:
Fones performed as the top defensive catcher at the event. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder threw pop times in the 1.99-2.08 range, consistently on the bag (72-74 mph). During bullpens, Fones showed advanced glove work and received with soft hands and a firm wrist while showing advanced blocking skills. At third base, Fones showed fluid footwork, a quick exchange and strong, accurate throws across the diamond. Offensively, Fones displays a short, balanced swing that stayed inside the ball and showing some pop in his bat. At times he had the tendency to lunge at the ball, but when he stayed back, showed the ability to drive the ball.
