Scouting Report

Scouting Director Notes

"6-foot-2, 195-pound backstop has made significant jumps throughout the offseason since last June. Martin punished a series of baseballs during his BP round. Sets up in balanced, slightly open stance. Gets in the zone early, generating quick bat speed w/ high finish. Drives the ball gap-to-gap w/ authority. Behind the dish, much improved w/ smoother footwork and transfers, ball came out clean, good accuracy. On the hot corner, possessed solid hands w/ natural movement patterns." - Colton Provey
