Last week we broke down the FACA All-Star Weekend in depth by several categories. After looking at the position players from a pure hitting standpoint today we break down the event by position with a look at our favorites from each. This inside look is geared mostly towards defensive abilities and are in no particular order.

Top Catchers

Justin Cohen, C, Sarasota-Riverview
6-foot, 200-pounds, athletic strong muscular lower half for durability. Solid receiver with an avg to above avg arm. Release was a bit slow but threw a guy out stealing 2B with strength and accuracy. Also showed plus raw power in BP and made a lot of hard contact in the game. Will have to quicken up release to be a consistent 2.0 around the bag. Could be a draft but may not be able to get him away from FSU.

Mike Rojas, C, Gulf Coast
6-foot-2, 200-pounds, strong durable catchers body. Solid receiver with an avg arm. Good catch and throw skills. Good mobility, blocks well. Has some strength and quickness in the bat. Hit a HR in the game. Avg power. He is an avg tools kind of guy which makes him a very good player at that position. Should be a draft.
