Scouting Report
Unsigned Senior Showcase (October 16, 2016)
Munoz has a lean, athletic body at 5-foot-11 175-pounds. Ran a 7.24 60, one of the top times of the event. Threw 77 mph to 2B during the skills workout, which was the fastest of the catchers, and one of the fastest positional velocities of the event. 85 mph exit velocity. Offensively- possesses some gap to gap pop from the right side. Sets up in a wide stance and relaxed hands with bat just above shoulder. Uses weight transfer and short stride/toe tap. Quick hands, rises up on finish on front leg. Defensively- showcased one of the strongest arms of the event from a position. Advanced receiving skills, good hip mobility and flexibility in squat. Blocking technique is sound, funnels ball back to home plate well. Slight pause when he rises out of squat to throw to 2B. Footwork is there, just needs to eliminate pause and make it one fluid motion, finishing out toward 2B.
