North

8/5/15 - North is a 6-foot 171-pound right-handed hitting catcher. North runs a  7.52 60 and has an 83 mph exit velo.  Offensively, North sits in back leg to load, slightly open, short stride, level path, gap-to-gap approach, consistent solid contact during batting practice, singled to left field in game action.  Defensively, 2.00 to 2.13 pop times, one of best pop times on the day, 74 mph positional velo, quick release, clean exchange, throws had carry, somewhat accurate to the bag. In the infield, 80 mph throws, fluid footwork, quick catch and release, over-the-top release, accurate throws.

9/15/14 - We watched North this past spring as he saw time behind the plate for the Class 6A Shawnee Mission South Raiders.  Physically he’s gained size and strength since then and is beginning to develop into a solid catching prospect in the Kansas class of 2016.  He’s an athletic catcher that moves well behind the plate and got down the line in 4.40 seconds on a ground ball out.  He received the ball well with quiet glove work keeping strikes in the strike zone and gaining some extra strikes for his pitchers on borderline pitches.  North throws with loose arm action and his throws have carry to them.  On the weekend he went 2-for-5 at the plate with two walks and a hit by pitch.
