5-foot-10, 165-pound athletic build. One of the best catch and throw guys at this event. His feet move well with a clean exchange. He throws from a high ¾ slot with pop times between 2.01-2.1 and a top velocity of 79 mph. Right-handed hitter that loads with a little leg kick, but sometimes doesn’t get his foot down in time. His swing is slightly uphill with a top exit velocity of 82 mph and is 4.66 home to first.

A bit undersized, but one of the top catch and receive guys in Ohio's class of 2015. Uses short arm action through high 3/4 arm slot. Good balance and stance behind the plate. Quick footwork and release. Top velocity of 82 mph on his throws with pop times mostly sitting around 2.03. Offensively, he has room to grow. Starts from an open stance, which creates some extra work. Will be a contact/line drive hitter at the next level with a simplified approach. Top exit velocity of 85 mph. Ran a 7.47 60.

5-foot-9, 150-pound catcher with small, wrestler type build. One of the top catch and receive guys in the state. Works hard behind the plate and doesn’t take plays off. Uses short arm action through high ¾ to over the top arm slot. Reached a top velocity of 76 mph from the crouch. Consistently 2.00 to 2.12 in workout and game action with accuracy. At the plate, the right-handed hitter starts with a balanced stance. Tends to wrap in his load. Will add power with more use of his lower half. Line drive production. Ran a 4.69 out of the box.

8/1/12
5-foot-9, 150-pound prospect with athletic, solid build. Registered a 7.52 60-yard dash. Looks most natural behind the plate. Short, compact actions. Pop times between 2.11-2.16. Reached a top velocity of 75 mph from the crouch. At third base, his footwork lacks fluidity. Shows average hands and top velocity of 72 mph on his throws across the infield. At the plate, he shows a balanced swing with a smooth load. Hands are quick and short to the ball. Squares it up well. Interesting following as he grows and matures.
