60 Yard Dash: N/A

Positional Arm: 75
Pop-Time: 2.08-2.14
May 2017
At 6-foot-5, Fitzsimmons has a rugged build and is just learning how to maximize the output of his body. Shows a POP time hovering around 2.1 with an accurate arm, solid glove behind the plate with above average blocking skills. Developing at the plate into a hitter who uses the middle third of the field, loads heavy, learning how to replicate swing.
Fitzsimmons, a 2019 right-handed hitting catcher currently ranked as the 5th best catcher for the class of 2019, stands at an impressive 6-foot-5 and weighs a solid 215 pounds, ran a 7.79 60. Offensively- Starts with a slightly open balanced lower half with the hands above and in front of the back shoulder while the barrel of the bat is slightly greater than 45-degrees. Gets into the launch phase of the swing elevating the lead foot, with a moderate stride forward, while the hands drop slightly below the shoulder and loading even with the back shoulder. Displayed an ability to keep the hands compact to the ball helping the barrel get to the ball quickly. Also showed a good ability to keep the barrel in the hitting zone for an extended period of time as well as finishing thru the ball with one hand. Drove the ball with plus power from the pull side gap to the opposite field gap during batting practice. Recorded an exit velocity of 83 MPH, an increase (+1 MPH), from September. Defensively- Works from an athletic and balanced square lower half. Glove is relaxed and quiet while the ball approaches the hitting zone, enabling good presentation of pitches to the lower third of the zone as well as to the corners. Throws to second base showed good accuracy but could improve on velocity as well as carry if the transfer could be sequenced ahead of the footwork. The throwing hand was behind the back, causing a bit of a delay with the transfer. Recorded and arm velocity of 76 MPH on the day (+5 MPH from September) and a best pop time of 2.02, also a personal best (+.04 from September). Good looking prospect behind the plate, with some mechanical adjustments could be an impact player both behind and at the plate.
