Ian Bach, C, Covington Catholic HS, 2014Bach

Ian Bach is a 5-foot-9, 185-pound catcher with a strong lower half and has attended multiple PBR events.

Most recently, Bach participated in the Top Prospect Games event in June.  At 70 mph from the crouch, his arm strength is average, but he has a quick transfer that allows for pop times ranging from 2.03-2.10.  Bach sets up well behind the plate and displays solid receiving and blocking skills. 

At the plate, he hits from a slightly open, crouched setup, shows good barrel awareness, and gernerates some bat speed with a line drive approach.  He has registered a top exit velocity off the tee at 85 mph.

Bach will be participating in the Fall Prospect Program at the University of Kentucky on Oct. 6.
