The following article is a special addition to Prep Baseball Report (PBR Utah) and has been in the works for some time. I’ve had close to 100 people over the past 6 years ask about the story behind the scouting and signing of Utah native MLB catcher Payton Henry. Henry was the 3rd HS draft pick to reach the Major Leagues from Utah since the turn of the century. The first was Canyon View HS pitcher (Cedar City), Mitch Talbot who was a 2nd Rd pick in the 2002 MLB Draft. Talbot went on to pitch in the “Show” for the Tampa Bay Rays along with 3 different stints with the Cleveland Indians, over parts of 3 seasons. Talbot also pitched in Korea and Taiwan for 5 years and totaled 16 years of professional baseball.

The 2nd was former Bingham HS star pitcher (South Jordan), Brady Lail, who reached the big leagues with the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners, and has played bits and parts of 3 seasons in the big leagues and 10 professional seasons overall. Lail is currently with the Phillies organization. But the demand to tell the story of Henry over the past 2 years, since joining Prep Baseball Report, has heightened, because of the platform that it provides in telling the story. 

MLB Catcher Payton Henry’s #15 Jersey Retired by Pleasant Grove HS 

 On Jan 14, 2022, former Pleasant Grove HS star and current Milwaukee Brewers catcher, Payton Henry had his jersey number 15 retired by the school and raised to the rafters in a special halftime ceremony, as Pleasant Grove took on crosstown rival Lone Peak in HS basketball action. The following article was started back in January and is a special edition to the PBR Utah “Scout Blog.” We will dive into the scouting process and signing of Henry by the Milwaukee Brewers, who was drafted in the 6th Rd of the 2016 MLB 1st Year Player Draft.

Henry was signed by then Milwaukee Brewers ``Four Corners' ' Area Scouting Supervisor and current PBR Utah Scouting Director, Jeff Scholzen, whose territory consisted of his home state of Utah, plus Arizona, Las Vegas, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, El Paso, TX and Southern Idaho, which consisted of all or parts of 8 western states. Scholzen served 20 years as a full-time MLB Area Scout, while signing 6 players as a scout that reached the major leagues.

Side Note: Scholzen jumped in his car and drove the 550 mile round trip in one day, to be in attendance, to sit with the Henry family at the jersey retirement ceremony. It was a special day, not only for the Henry family and Payton, but I was able to say hi and chat with Utah wrestling icon, Darold Henry, the patriarch of the Henry family. Grandpa Darold is enshrined as a wrestler, coach and NCAA official in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. One week later, Grandpa Henry would pass away unexpectedly from a heart attack. But what a blessing it was to be able to see his grandson Payton reach the major leagues and be on the court, taking part in the jersey retirement ceremony, after filling the rafters himself, as a state and national iconic HS wrestling coach!

The Scouting of Payton Henry

I first met Payton Henry as a 15 year old, during his freshman year of high school. As the four corners area scouting supervisor for the Milwaukee Brewers, I was an instructor every year at the annual February spring training camp, run by Mountain West Baseball in Mesquite, NV. The Camp was annually run during the President’s Day weekend. I was stationed with another scout from the Angels, to oversee the hitting stations, as the players rotated through their stations. I was impressed with Payton’s size, bat speed and natural strength to impact the baseball. 

As Henry was waiting for his next turn through the station, we started talking and I asked him his name, and the last name rang a bell. I asked him if Coach Darrin Henry at Pleasant Grove HS was his father, he said he was and that he had started as a freshman the year before on the varsity. I wanted to get a closer look at him during the game action, as his next station was the live game. I asked for my station to be covered by another instructor, for a couple of innings, so I could see Payton catch a few innings. He was advanced for his age and you could see a definite Division 1 talent and possibly more as a rising sophomore. 

I kept tabs on Henry over the next 3 years, as he would go on to garner 1st team All-State honors that spring as a sophomore. I didn’t see Payton for another year, until he was a junior and decided to go to the 2015 6A state tourney at Utah Valley, to get a glimpse of what was to come. Henry had a spectacular tournament and state championship game, as he carried the Vikings to the 6A state title, and was named for the second time as a 1st Team All-State player. To cap it off, Henry was awarded the first of his two Utah Gatorade Player of the Year awards! Payton was squarely on the radar of many Division 1 schools and had committed to another school, before re-thinking that commitment and eventually deciding on BYU. 

That coming summer, Payton played for a prestigious summer team, the Utah Marshalls, who were coached by my bird dog scout, Sam Swenson. Swenson had a great eye for talent and knew what a pro prospect looked like, as I signed Swenson for the Angels back in 2001, after a record setting career at the U of Utah. I scouted Henry a couple of times that summer and Swenson would send me hitting stats throughout the summer. The Marshalls are the top HS collegiate prep team on the west coast, as their entire roster is full of current and future D1 commits/signees and potential pro prospects. 

What made it easy to evaluate Henry was for this type of team, the Marshalls use wood bats and play high caliber competition against top college prospects.  The Marshalls win 80+% of their games, making it a legit environment to prepare players for either college and/or professional baseball. That August (2015), Henry was selected to play for the Reds sponsored team, in the prestigious Area Code games, held at Long Beach State, which attracts the nations top college programs and over 300 MLB scouts, as well as MLB player agencies. It’s a scouts evaluation paradise, as Henry would be facing 90+ mph arms at the event. 

As the Reds workout was going on, I was texting one of the Brewers national cross checkers, who was seated high up, down the 3rd base line with our scouting director, Ray Montgomery (now the Angels MLB bench coach) to have him and Ray bear down on Henry. As the games commenced, I again sent a text to remind them to pay attention to Payton and he didn’t disappoint! During the event, the area code games hold a HR derby, patterned after the MLB All-Star HR Derby with all the players on the field and many scouts in attendance. Payton made it to the finals and finished as the runner up in an epic duel for the derby winner. Payton’s 45 total HR’s is still an area code record! 

That winter in December I made my way to Pleasant Grove, to do an in-home visit with the Henry family and to my surprise, they later told me, I was the first scout to visit their home that winter! Scouts routinely visit top HS draft prospects home’s before their senior season, to get a read on the player and the family’s expectations on whether they intend to go to college or want to give it a go and play professional baseball. But all of this comes to fruition based on the player and family conveying what it would take to sign professionally, if the right bonus offer comes their way in the annual MLB 1st Year Player Draft? 

I made it a habit of being in players' homes, for about an hour to 90 minutes, to give the player a personality test and also execute a vision test called Vizual Edge, who are also a PBR partner (we perform these tests at our invite only events). After I felt I had conveyed the basics and mechanics of the draft, I felt I should be going and didn’t want to overstay my welcome. Payton’s parents asked if I was staying the night, and wanted to know if I could stay longer? I said I would stay as long as they needed. I ended my visit after 3 hours and when I was driving back to my hotel, I knew I really wanted this kid in the worst way possible. I was sold on the makeup and character with Payton, as well as all of my previous scouting of him as I mentioned. Now all that was left to do, was to bear down on him that next spring, during his senior year and get him seen by as many Brewers scouting personnel as possible, leading up to the MLB Draft. 

2016 Scouting gets Serious

The spring scouting season always opens for HS players in Arizona, as they start their season a couple of weeks ahead of the cold weather states, such as Utah. I had been back and forth to Arizona knocking out my coverage and now wanted to move on to some players in Las Vegas. I was at a high profile pitcher/hitter matchup at Arbor View HS, and the majority of the scouts were at this afternoon matchup. That night at Utah Tech U in St. George, UT, where I lived at the time, there was an opening tournament for the state of Utah, with some of the better teams in the state. That nights 7:00 pm matchup was a HS pitcher (Dakota Donovan, Pine View) that would go on to sign with the Angels in college a few years later from St. George vs. Henry and Pleasant Grove. A few of the scouts mentioned the game that night in St. George, which is 90 minutes away and said, it was nice I had that kind of matchup in my backyard. I told them I was headed to Arizona to see another HS player and didn’t want to see a Utah hitter like Henry from northern Utah right out of the gym and snow. 

So I had a couple of people from St. George, who I trusted, keep tabs on the game that night and his game the next day as well, to let me know how he did. The next night I got a text that Henry caught and threw extremely well, but his timing was off at the plate and that with so many scouts at the game, he had to be nervous. He said he was 0-7 during the two games he attended and I was happy that he didn’t show well, so I could wait and see him with 20 or so at bats under his belt, before heading north to see him most likely by myself. 

A couple of weeks later I traveled north and Coach Henry called me to let me know that they had snow the night before and that the game scheduled at Riverton HS in Salt Lake City had been canceled. Pleasant Grove offered to have the game moved to their home field, because they were dry, but Riverton didn’t want to do that. So Coach Henry told me that they would hold practice instead and take lots of swings on the field and Payton would be doing some catching drills in the bullpen as well. He invited me to be on the field and move around at my leisure and get whatever film I needed of Payton. This was music to my ears, as I would be by myself and no one would know I was there. 

Payton put on a HR display, launching shots to all parts of the field in three extended rounds of BP. I was able to hang out with Payton and follow him around the field and noticed how easy he seemed to be around me, even though he could be feeling some pressure with a scout watching his every move. It didn’t faze him and I was able to get more than 10 minutes of various film coverage of him. 

The next day the game was eventually moved to Pleasant Grove and I was the only scout in attendance. Payton accounted for both runs in a 2-1 Vikings victory, with a long solo HR to dead CF and a booming RBI-2B off the RCF fence. Payton also threw out a runner at second base and my watch said 1.81 from his knees. With the score at 2-1 in the top of the 7th inning, with 1 out and the tying and go ahead runs at second and third, coach Henry went to the mound and told Payton to take off the catching gear and he was gonna close the game out on the mound. Knowing Payton had an above average big league arm, I grabbed my radar gun, to see what his FB registered, to check my subjective opinion of his arm strength as a catcher. Henry proceeded to punch out the next two hitters to secure the win, with his FB registering between 91-95 mph. I made sure to mention that in my report that night when I got back to the hotel. 

This became the norm, performance wise. for the rest of the spring, as I saw Payton on five different occasions. I made my way north to see Payton’s last 3 playoff games, in consecutive days, with one at Pleasant Grove, one at Lehi HS and his final HS game at Fremont HS, 100 miles north in the Ogden area. My regional crosschecker was with me at all 3 games, mixed in with one of the national cross checkers in the middle game. In game one Payton threw a runner out from his knees and I got him on the stop watch at 1.81 again. He hit 2 long HR’s that day and was intentionally walked in his other 2 at bats. Game two saw him line out hard to the 1B’man and was intentionally walked in his next two at bats. But he put on a clinic catching wise, with close to 15 balls blocked in the dirt with no runners advancing. 

The last game saw Henry start on the mound to stave off elimination in the tournament, so they could head to Utah Valley for the final rounds. Myself and my regional cross checker knew Henry was gonna be pitching, but just wanted some more at bats in case this was his final HS game. There was only one other scout in attendance from another club (regional crosschecker) that day as Henry was 88-93 with his FB. His 1st AB, he struck out against an intriguing sophomore LHP that was 6-5 and he caught my attention, by the name of Ky Bush, who would later go on to be a 2nd Rd pick of the Angels out of Saint Mary’s College in the 2021 draft. In Henry's 2nd AB, he hit a hanging CB way out to deep LCF, but Henry eventually moved back behind the plate in the final inning and with Pleasant Grove down a few runs in a bigger scoring game, the Vikings would need to score a couple runs to get Henry back up to the plate. Henry did get up, and struck out to end the game. As I was walking to the parking lot, I noticed Payton’s mother had been out on the soccer field pacing and couldn’t watch the end of the game play out, with her son and husband’s season on the line. I waved to her and like that his season was over. Now all that remained was to secure a spot for Payton at our pre-draft workout in Milwaukee in front of all the top front office personnel. 

Henry from Deseret News (2016 Utah “Mr. Baseball”)

Coach Darrin Henry on the Scouting of Payton

The 2016 scouting process was a crazy one. We had several scouts attending every game and even more practices. It was tough for scouts to get a good read at games because Payton was intentionally walked so many times that year, and when he was pitched to he would rarely get a strike to hit. Whenever there were runners on base he would get intentionally walked. Because Payton threw really hard (95 mph) he pitched for us as well. That also created the dynamic of scouts not being able to see him catch in certain games. Dozens of scouts became a regular occurrence, and once Payton became used to getting one or two pitches to hit per game he really shined. He hit .527 and .517 for his junior and senior year. 

The Brewers were one of the top 5 teams with the most interest. Jeff Scholzen identified Payton as a freshman and was the most consistent scout, in communication and attending games. When Payton attended the Brewers pre-draft workout in Milwaukee at Miller Park, he hit 11 home runs in batting practice along with a hit in his only at bat during the scrimmage. 

Coach Darrin Henry “Draft Day” and life in the Minor Leagues

Draft day was a mess! The draft started as Payton was receiving the Player of the year Award at a ceremony. Several catchers were coming off the board and I knew he had a chance to go high. We saw some of the teams take catchers that told us they would likely select Payton in the early rounds. The agency we were with at the time, didn’t have much communication with the teams that we identified as top possibilities, so I picked up the phone and made some calls. These calls turned into a couple of deals with the Phillies and eventually Brewers. Payton was promised higher round (3rd) money if he would agree to be selected in the 6th round. The teams gambled that a position player from Utah could possibly be overlooked and taken later. We had a deal in place before the selection happened. It wasn’t a surprise when he was taken by the Brewers in the 6th round. It was disappointing because I knew he was good enough to be taken much higher. He was told by many scouts that playing in Utah made his stock go down even though the majority of his summer games with the Utah Marshalls were out of state against great competition where he shined. Even after all of that, it was a complete thrill to have Payton selected by the Brewers. 

When the Brewers made the decision to select Payton they had already selected another catcher early in the draft. Payton didn’t care, all he ever wanted was a chance to compete and prove that he could make it to the major leagues! Any team was fine as long as he could get playing time to prove himself. 

Henry selected in the 6th Rd by the Milwaukee Brewers

The minor leagues are not only a learning experience of baseball, but also about life. 10 days after graduating high school, Payton was assigned and played in the Arizona League in Phoenix. He played at the following places: 

Phoenix - AZL League

Helena, Montana - Rookie Ball

Appleton, Wisconsin - Low A (Midwest League All-Star)

Zebulon, North Carolina - High A (Carolina League All-Star)

Biloxi, Mississippi- AA

Nashville, Tennessee - AAA

Jacksonville, Florida - AAA

Payton won several awards including the Gold Glove Award while playing in the minors. Living conditions were always pretty crazy to see, as teammates would stay together in apartments sleeping on blow up mattresses and old mattresses without bed frames. There usually wasn’t any furniture either, with camping chairs and empty boxes were used in place of couches and tables. It’s funny to see them treated like rock stars during games and then go home to meager conditions. 

Payton was told he would be on the CoVid list (players in reserve, in case a MLB player comes down with CoVid) when he was called up and assigned to the Miami Marlins. He told me not to get a ticket to come out because he wouldn’t be playing. But when he arrived in Miami, he met with the manager Don Mattingly and was told he was starting that night! He called me when I was at school in the weight room with my baseball team. He told me he would be starting that night and said “Pops, I’m a big leaguer!” I immediately got the chills and started to tear up! I walked back in the weight room and yelled it to the team. They all cheered and started screaming! It was one of the greatest moments of my life! Then it hit me that I wouldn’t have enough time to fly to Miami to see him in person. I watched the first game on TV at home with family and friends. It was the greatest feeling ever to see him hit the double off the wall for his first hit! I was so proud! He always seems to shine when the lights are the brightest! It brought back a lot of memories of hitting thousands of times together and it also let me know that there is so much more to come!

Pre-Draft Workout and Draft Day

It’s customary for clubs to invite top prospects, especially HS players to a pre-draft workout, either at a spring training facility or the MLB home stadium. Payton had 3 workouts scheduled in back to back days, with the Brewers workout held at Miller Park in Milwaukee, and two other clubs in the Rockies and Diamondbacks, back to back the following day in Scottsdale at Salt River Fields. The Brewers workout was held in late May, and I was driving to the airport in Las Vegas, to fly to Lubbock, TX for the Texas Tech NCAA regional, when I received a call from my scouting director, Ray Montgomery (now the MLB Bench Coach the Los Angeles Angels) excited to tell me how Payton had performed that day at the workout. He said this kid is the real deal, and mentioned that Payton had hit ball after ball out of the park and said they were smoked to the deepest reaches of the park, with 4 hitting the jumbotron scoreboard in dead CF. He reiterated that he wanted to get Payton in the draft and needed assurances that he would sign and if his figure was still what we had been told by his family. I said yes, and that I really wanted this kid, because I felt I had out scouted others for him, and that being a Utah kid, in my home state, I was afraid a couple of clubs may take him in front of us, and I didn’t want to lose him to other clubs, that had only been on him, since the previous summer at the area code games. 

A few nights later, in Lubbock, I had arrived back at the hotel from the ballpark and was just getting into bed around midnight, when I saw a call coming in from a 414 area code. I knew this was most likely someone calling in from the Brewers draft room? It was indeed! I was told I was on speaker and that the room was listening, while they wanted another full scale breakdown of Henry, so they could form a course of attack. The call went really well, and about an hour later around 1 am, I received another call, informing me that a phone call had been placed with the family and that a bonus offer had been agreed upon if we drafted Payton. I had a 3rd Rd selection on all my reports, and a dollar figure attached. The Brewers official informed me that they were going to try and select Payton in the 5th or 6th Rd and offer a bonus commensurate with the 3rd Rd. We felt because of Payton and myself living in Utah, we could select him a few rounds later and give him our projected dollar figure, because our reports were more thorough and the competition didn’t know as much as we did over a four year period. 

On draft day, I knew I was out possibly on some other players high in the draft, but had my focus on the 5th and 6th Rd’s. When the 5th Rd approached, I started to get extremely nervous and my pulse was racing. When it came time for our selection, we picked another player and I was now as nervous as one could get. I had at the time a “Fitbit” watch on my wrist and noticed that my resting heart rate was around 108! It was now time for round 6 and I was sweating it out as if it was me getting drafted. A few picks before our selection, my phone started blowing up from other scouts and friends, congratulating me on getting Payton in the 6th Rd! I jumped for joy and was so excited, then I realized at that point my internet was about 30 seconds slow, and so I now sat back down and listened to the Brewers announce the selection of Payton! My “Fitbit” was now 114, and it became a topic of humor with Brewers scouts in the years that followed. 

I waited a few minutes and then called Coach Darrin Henry to congratulate the family and talk to Payton. Coach Henry let me know that Payton was not available, because Payton heard the selection and bolted out the door and was running “gassers” as Coach Henry called it. Payton was running up and down the street, screaming as loud as he could with excitement. Neighbors were coming out of their homes wondering what was going on. The life of an 18 year old young man had just changed and the first of many dreams to come true. 

Henry signs with the Milwaukee Brewers

Picture: 2018 MiLB Rawlings Gold Glove Award (Catcher)

Over the years, I’ve followed Payton every day, to see how he played that night for the various minor league affiliates of the Brewers. He has garnered many honors and awards as shown in his file, but on July 30th, 2021, I knew that Payton was just a phone call away, as the Brewers completed a trade with the Marlins in a one for one trade at the MLB trade deadline, for big league pitcher Jon Curtiss. Curtiss was gonna provide bullpen help down the stretch as the Brewers were gunning for the NL Central crown. Payton on the other hand was headed to AAA with the Marlins and in a building mode as the Marlins were, I knew there was a good chance Payton would make his MLB debut before seasons end.

MLB Debut and time w/the Marlins

On September 17th, I was at a national level showcase event in Orlando, FL with my son, and I got a text from the Brewers scout that replaced me when I was hired by PBR. The scout informed me that Payton had been called up that day to make his Marlins debut that night and I was just sitting there in the ballpark, and was a proud uncle, older brother and was so happy! I tried to get the game on my phone, but being in FL and not being able to get to Miami to see the debut, I was blacked out of the game being in FL. But a little while later I did get the highlight alert on my phone, of Payton’s first big league hit, as it was a ringing double off the CF wall! Such a happy day!

Watch Henry’s double in his MLB Debut

The following spring, Payton made the Marlins opening day 2022 MLB roster and played sparingly through the first 6-7 weeks of the season and was sent down to AAA Jacksonville to get more playing time. But a freak injury, that required surgery for a broken hand, sidelined Payton for 2 months and when he returned, the rust was evident, as any injury to a hand for a hitter will take time to find their groove again. 

Once the 2022 season was over, Payton returned home to Pleasant Grove to continue to let his hand rest and do physical therapy. With his time home, Payton decided to give back to the community and surrounding areas, by starting a fall HS instructional league called “Diamond Respect,” which is the name of a hat and apparel company that Payton started a few years ago, with the logo of a home plate, with the Stars and Stripes within the home plate logo. 

Reviewing the Brew  - Henry re-acquired by the Brewers

On November 10th, after the Brewers had a change at the top of the baseball ops structure, when President of Baseball Ops, David Stearns stepped away from the position, Matt Arnold the General Manager, who was a Henry fan, took over as the head of baseball operations, and brokered a deal, to re-acquire Payton, after losing starting catcher Omar Narvaez to free agency. The deal now brought Payton back to his original organization, the Milwaukee Brewers!

Getting to witness Payton having his jersey retired by his high school, was a thrill! Coach Henry is right, there is more to come in Payton’s baseball career. Here’s to a happy, healthy and long career to Utah’s own and Pleasant Grove Vikings legend Payton Henry!
