Putnam stands an athletic 5-foot-11, 170-pounds and runs well for his position recording a 7.06 60 time. Offensively – At the plate he uses an athletic approach, shifts weight back on pitch with a short stride and load. Short path to the ball, barrel stays level through the zone, hands are strong evidenced by his 92 mph exit velocity. Pretty balanced through extension with a one arm, shoulder height finish. Defensively – he uses a narrow stance, stays low with softer hands, and receives clean. Quick transfer, quick footwork, arm gets behind his body some with the arm action, high-3/4 release with above average arm strength at 78 mph. Putnam is an athletic backstop that will play at the college level.

Compact, athletic look at 5-foot-11, 170-pounds. Has average footwork behind the plate, receives cleanly and is able to transfer to throw downs, arm action is fluid at a high -3/4 arm slot. At the plate hitter is relaxed and balanced at setup, has a smooth back load prior to swing, hands stay long over the plate with a level bat plane, generates good power on swing and has a good approach at the plate. Show potential as a hitter.
