9/17/16- The 6-foot, 185 pound catcher is a physically strong looking player. He showed gap to gap power with his swing in batting practice. With a simple set-up, he showed a quick bat through the zone. He still doesn’t get much use out of his lower half, but still generated an exit velocity of 77 mph. Defensively, he showed a high set-up behind the plate. He showed good footwork on his throws down to second with pop times ranging from 2.06-2.15 that could shave some time with an improved transfer. He is strong and as he continues to play he should be able to clean up some of the inconsistencies to have the ability to play at the next level.
