6-foot, 185-pound average body frame. From the catcher’s position he shows pretty good footwork but can improve his pop time by staying lower throughout his throw to second-base as he has a tendency to stand up too soon. He throws with 70 mph velocity reaching pop times between 2.26-2.37. Right-handed hitter starts with his weight slightly more towards his back leg, uses an inward turn with his front foot for a timing mechanism, has a fluid hands back to shoulder trigger, two handed finish. Line drive type production reaching a top exit velocity of 74 mph. Ran his 60-yard dash at an 8.00.
