Scouting Report
Our #1 player in the 2023 class, Ohland has an exceptional prospect profile as a switch hitting catcher who can run, throw and hit from both sides of the plate. He immediately stands out as an advanced receiver and will be a huge asset to his pitching staff throughout the year. Offensively he can avoid tougher match-ups by never having to set up on the pitcher’s arm-side. Expect that to lead to a high average and consistent power. Washington commit
Ohland stands at an athletic, well-proportioned 5-foot-10, 180-pounds with room to still add muscle onto his frame. He’s an impressive athlete, especially for a catcher, starting his workout at a Preseason ID this March by running a 6.81 in the 60-yard dash. Ohland’s hands work from both sides of the plate, though his left-handed stroke may prove to be his most valuable offensive asset down the road. He was all over the barrel during BP at that same March event, posting a 93.4 mph average exit velocity and an 89% hard-hit rate with a max exit output of 98 mph. Defensively, Ohland’s arm flashed on-the-bag accuracy during his workout while peaking at 78 mph from the chute with pop times in the 1.94-to-2.09 range.
Ohland is a 5-foot-10, 140-pound, switch hitting catcher in Missouri’s 2023 class. He ran a 4.31 home-to-first and posted an exit velocity of 84 mph.
