Five Uncommitted 2019 Catchers

6/27/18 - 6-foot, 180-pound frame. Hasler shows about as much arm strength as you'll see, posting an impressive 83 mph velocity from the crouch and a best pop time of 1.87. Hasler also has a strong swing (93 mph exit velocity) and performed well in the middle of Hamilton's lineup this spring. The swing is a bit mechanical with a very early deep hand load and when cleaned up could elevate his prospect status even further. Also posted a 7.43 60-yard dash. Hasler also got up on the bump and sat 84-85 mph with his fastball. Controlled tempo on leg lift, very long stride, chest is almost touching front knee at release. Flashed an overhand curveball at 71 mph with downer movement. Next-level prospect behind the plate.

6/27/18 - 5-foot-11, 175-pound frame. Strong, compact build. Offensively hit from an athletic, open stance. Swing can get a bit disconnected at times but Skov always shows the ability to barrel in game action; 77 mph exit velocity. Skov always impresses behind the plate and this day was no different posting pop times ranging from 2.00 - 2.11 seconds with a 77 mph catcher velocity. Did not cheat out of the crouch at all on his throws, clean transfer, solid footwork, impressive arm speed. Also ran an above average 60-yard dash for his position at 7.14 seconds. Will help someone at the next level.

11/12/17 - Solid all-around prospect. Very similar testing data to the Fall Prospect Showcase. Can help college program behind the plate and on offense. Plays with elite energy.

10/29/17 – 5-foot-11, 175-pound frame with some strength in upper body and athletic lower half; 7.20 60-yard dash. Hits from wide, balanced setup and shows solid bat speed and a path that keeps the barrel in the zone. Front side tends to get soft at times.

Snodgrass impressed behind the plate with his easy actions and posting pop times ranging from 2.03 - 2.11 seconds. Very quick transfer, strides out far to gain ground towards bag, whippy arm action; 73 mph catcher velocity. Snodgrass has performed at a very high level in high school and will help someone at the next level.

2/28/18 - Has transformed his body, looking leaner and stronger which has made him a more intriguing prospect. Commands the field on defense and shows elite makeup. Consistent 2.0 pops between innings. Doesn't possess elite tools, but is a baseball player. Smoked a line drive with 95 mph exit veto in his last at-bat. Shows ability to be on time against high-end arms. Very little swing and miss in his game.Has made himself into a ossible D1 prospect.

11/12/17 - Turned in a much better performance than only a couple weeks prior at the Fall Prospect Showcase. His 88 mph exit velocity, 7.44 60-yard dash, and 1.96 best pop time were all significant improvements as his body continues to get leaner and more athletic. Snodgrass' hitting ability was never in doubt.

10/29/17 – 6-foot, 190-pound frame with long torso and thick lower half. Relaxed setup with advanced easy rhythm in box.
