4/26/16- Committed to Florida Gulf Coast University.

4/2/15 - 6-foot-1 200 pound junior catcher with a strong, athletic build.  Moves very well for his size and is a has good feet and a strong arm behind the plate.  His best pop time in between innings was 1.95 and in the game on a pitch where he had to reach across his body for he was 2.11.  On another SB attempt in the game he was 1.98 pop time.  Strong hitter at the plate, has a stride and separate set up and a good up the middle approach.  Earlier in the season he seemed a little pull happy but against Sarasota he had two line drive base hits into CF.

3/26/15 - Uncommitted junior. 6-foot-1 200 pounds with a strong, bulky body but still agile and athletic. Behind the plate he blocks well and sticks pitches. Solid arm and good transfer that produces a 2.0-2.1 pop time. At the plate he has a flat swing that stays through the zone for a while. Hard line drives to all fields. Old school type player.

3/3/15 - 6-foot-1 200 pound junior catcher.  Strong build, athletic frame, looks big behind the plate and in the box but moves surprisingly well for his size.  Made some very athletic plates behind the plate.  Blocks the ball well and handled Kragel’s movement on his FB, BB, and change-up well.  Caught runner stealing against Port Charlotte.  Pop time hovered around or just below 2.0 throughout the night, quick behind the plate with strong accurate throws to 2B.  Strong big physical presence at the plate.  Showed good bat speed at the plate and drove the ball well twice including a SAC fly in the first and a single in the third.
