Steidl

Medium, strong build. Advanced, quiet approach from the left side. Quick and whippy through the zone with good plate discipline and feel in the box. Level path with easy, long finish. Consistent hard line drives. Barreled some balls up in-game and came away with a couple opposite field hits on the week. Defensively, he popped between 2.04-2.16. Soft hands, good receiver with an average arm that had some quickness and carry at 75 mph. Really gets out there, consistently throwing with his front foot well past home plate. Registered a solid 87 mph exit velocity.

Athletic and strong frame at 5-foot-11, 205 pounds. Short arm action with carry and accuracy on throws. Pop times to second are 2.0-2.1 with average hands and clean exchange and average footwork. Receives well with strong hands and blocks balls in the center of his chest. Athletic setup at the plate with smooth load and leg kick and stays balanced through swing. Line drive hitter with level to uphill bat path with some pull side power. Has present bat to ball skills and a feel for the barrel. There is a lot of all around upside as the body matures.

10/05/18 - 5-foot-11, 205-pound left-handed hitting catcher, physical frame, strength throughout. Offensively, slightly open setup, short stride, maintains good balance. Power approach at the plate, natural lift to swing.

Currently stands at 5-foot-11, 195 pounds with a solid frame and strong lower half. At the plate starts from a wide base with a medium leg kick for his load and an uphill path through the zone from the left side. At times can be out in front, but showed some pull side pop when he found the barrel, producing some deep fly balls to right field. Should see a jump in power as his timing improves. Registered a 79 mph exit velocity. Behind the plate he registered pop times in the 2.05-2.10 second range and his throws topping out at 69 mph down to second.
