2/8/15 - 6-foot, 170-pound, right-handed hitting, catcher. Behind the plate showed a short, loose, whippy arm action. Popped 2.01-2.12 and threw 75 mph from the crouch. Slower transfer, with a quick release, solid receiver. At the plate hits from a balanced setup with a deep load to back side, short leg lift stride, with good balance. Average bat speed, short path, 86 mph exit velocity from a tee. Ran the 60 at 7.46.

2/9/14 - 5-foot-10, 160-pound catcher with an athletic body. Defensively, showed solid hands with clean exchanges. Arm works short from high ¾ at 75 mph with some carry. Pop times were 2.11-2.19. Ran a 4.5 home to first time. At the plate he hits from a balanced stance, with a short leg kick trigger, maintains balance through contact. Swing has stiff rhythm with a level bat path and above average bat speed. Exit velocity off a tee was 91 mph.

1/27/13 - 5-foot-9, 155-pound catcher. Offensively hits from a slightly closed stance, slightly dives with stride. Lower half is active. Bat path is level, wrists are highly involved in swing, some rollover, pull approach. Defensively lacks arm strength, pop times range 2.28-2.34, 68 mph from the crouch. Added footwork will improve pop times.
