Showed quick feet and a consistent transfer; his throws were consistently accurate and on the bag. He recorded a 60 time of 7.50 at the event.
9/30/18: 2022 C with smaller frame at 5’10 145 lbs shows short compact swing at the plate. Sprayed line drives to all fields. Simple set up and load stride timing trigger. Could use more separation pre swing to allow him to generate more bat speed. Found the barrel consistently. Behind the dish, development will come with age. Travels with the baseball when throwing. Long exchange and sloppy foot work with room to grow for young prospect. Pop times ranged from 2.47-2.68
9/10/17: 60 Time: 8.00, Position Velocity: INF-65, OF-68, C-64, Exit Velocity: 63. 5-foot-8, 120 pound right handed hitting catcher works with a short, balanced stroke at the plate, hitting line drives to all fields. Uses a simple leg lift to swing, one piece action with no separation or stride, short hand path to the baseball. Consistently barrelled up the baseball in BP rounds, staying mostly back side hitting over the second baseman. Head stays down through contact with athletic lower half, more strength, length and load to add to swing. Behind the plate, travels with the baseball to throw, sits upright to catch and transfer. Long exchange, with uphill shoulders and arm action to throw. More arm strength and carry to be developed, young prospect. Pop times were 2.47-2.68 short of the bag.
