'22 C Caleb Herd from Cienega HS joins Team Arizona for the 2020 PBR Future Games.
2022 C Caleb Herd (Cienega)- Although the size doesn't jump of the page at you. Herd has shown some good strength in his 5-foot-8 165-pound build. He has a strong lower half in his compact frame, showing an increased ability to drive the baseball as of late. As a catching prospect, he's great to throw to with his lower center of gravity, being able to work from underneath the baseball. His catch and throw skills are advanced with quick transfers and release, combined with above average arm. He was consistently clocked between 1.89-1.94 pop times at our last event June 24th. Offensively, the bat is starting to come along as it was one of his biggest area's for improvement for him. During recent coverage, he has done nothing but hit as of late, even hitting in the leadoff spot for his summer team. We are excited to have Herd on #TEAMARIZONA for the PBR Future Games.
