6-foot, 135-pound, longer, thin athletic frame, showing real good strength for his age. A left-handed hitting catcher, at the plate, hands really work through the hitting zone. The stance is balanced, hands are relaxed at the shoulders, bat starting in more flat setup. For timing uses a longer, smooth toe tap, which gains ground. The swing is level through the zone, with rotational at the backend, could stay through it a tick longer. The approach is more middle to opposite, shows the ability to go backside. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 71 mph with more in there and ran a 8.97 sixty-yard dash. Defensively, threw 65 mph down to second base, with a pop time of 2.38-2.41, stands up to throw, could stay lower, gaining more ground. The setup is wide base, the hands are strong on the catch. Will need to become more agile to stick behind the plate. The hands were soft on the catch at shortstop, feet need to continue to move throughout. The arm was clocked at 65 mph. Projects for me to hit at a high level, will need to smooth out the defensive side.

Tee Exit Velocity: 71 mph

Arm Velocity: 65 mph

Sixty-Yard Dash: 8.97
