Andrew
DeClement

5-foot-11, 185 pounds, good catcher build, athletic, still some projection to his lean frame. Shows some agility behind the plate. Balanced crouch with solid receiving skills, gets up and into his throws quickly. Pop times ranged from 2.02-2.12, with 75 MPH throws from behind the plate. Whippy arm action as both a catcher and third baseman. Profiles best as a catcher. Offensively, DeClement is open to even at the plate and has loose hands. Level to slight loft in the swing path, leg kick helps start the swing, stays balanced through contact. Mostly a line drive approach but shows the ability for more power to enter his game, and drove a triple into the gap during game play. With continued development at the plate and defensively as a catcher, DeClement will only further his profile as a potential player at the collegiate level.
