Scouting Report

8/14/22

6-foot-1, 190-pound catcher who impressed in game action. His pop times were 2.01-2.06, with a position velocity of 77. High hands, a narrow base, limited movement, with a gap-to-gap approach at the plate. In-game he works well behind the plate, good receiver, and worked well with the pitchers. At the plate, he had competitive at-bats and contributed in all three games. He can play corner infield also, which can create more opportunities for him to get on the field. A competitive kid who plays hard.
