LINCOLN, CA. - Aroz, presently our 35th ranked 2021 in California (5th among catchers) got onto our radar at a tournament in Stockton sometime in the fall or summer of 2018 as I recall. There was a college coach sitting with me when we were watching him play both catcher and SS. As the game went on and we observed not only his talents, but also his passion to play, smile on his face, interaction with his teammates, it was pretty clear we were seeing a special young player. In fact, that coach leaned over to me and said, 'he's probably a PAC guy isn't he?' To which I replied, 'I sure think so.' He wasn't a Pac-12 coach so he made the decision to not fall any further in love with Anson Aroz.
That I was confident Aroz was going to be a Pac-12 player doesn't necessarily mean I was/am confident that he's going to get pro interest next spring season (hopefully there IS a next spring season!). He's got big hands, he's strong for his size, he's a switch-hitter, he's very athletic, he's polished behind the plate, but the raw arm and bat projection at the highest level have been areas that have given me some pause. Now, given three years of college, those concerns would very likely go away.
THE REPORT:
Body: 5-foot-10, 175-pounds. As stated previously, athletic player w/athletic proportions, built like a MIF, big hands, lean body w/agility
