Welsh is a 6-foot 180-pound left-handed hitting catcher in Kansas' 2020 class. He ran a 8.12 60, a 4.89 home to first and has an 89 mph exit velocity. At the plate, balanced set up, smooth load to back leg, accelerates after stride, stays square, level path, works inside the ball, middle of the field approach. Behind the plate, over the top arm slot, fluid exchange on time with quick footwork, throws have carry and are mostly accurate, pop times between 2.09 and 2.18-seconds, 74 mph positional velocity.
