Uncommitted Spotlight: 2020 C/2B Jayce Guyette

10.14.18 a very solid catcher with a tremendous understanding of the game. Plays the game with confidence and his actions back that up. Has a very solid setup behind the plate and hip flexibility that allows him to more very well. Does a very good job of “stealing” strikes for the pitcher (especially the ball down in the zone). Solid blocking action on balls in the dirt that allow a quick recovery to throw runners out. Has a quick transfer and an accurate arm, throwing mostly low 2.0’s to 2B. Offensively, he does a good job of getting his hands to the launch position and has a front toe tap approach with a little lift in his swing that creates some juice to the pull side. Will make someone a solid catcher at the next level.

Jayce Guyette (2020 C/2B, Huntsville HS) 5’11 165 lbs- the lone 2020 at the field but he held his own vs. the 2019’s.

Has a great understanding of the game and showcased good offensive skills with hands set low and a barrel that stays in the zone a long time creating solid contact.
