6-foot, 175-pound right-handed hitting catcher had a solid showing at the event. Ran a 5.0 down the line on his dig to first base. Behind the dish he shows solid receiving skills and a short arm path. The glove is soft and he moves well behind the dish. Threw 71 mph down to second base, pop time of 2,01. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 75 mph, physical strength gains are warranted. The setup is even in base, toe tap for timing as the ball approaches. The front foot gains ground as the ball approaches the hitting zone. The hands work freely, slightly uphill in path to contact. Solid skill set.

6-foot, 175-pound right-handed hitting catcher, solid promise behind the dish. Ran a 4.41 on his dig down to first base at the event. Threw 70 mph from behind the dish at the workout, pop time of 2.13. The receiving is solid and he shows a good feel for the glove. The flexibility is good behind the dish. The feet can be cleaned up during the transfer and shortening the arm path will help his ability to throw from behind the plate. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 76 mph. As physical strength is warranted. Sets up with his feet even, the front foot steps into the ball as it approaches. The path is uphill at times, and he has a high finish after contact. Solid prospect in the 2020 class.

5-foot-10, 175-pound right-handed hitting catcher who showed extremely well at the event. Threw 72 mph from behind the dish, the transfer is clean and quick to release. The throws have carry to them. The receiving is soft and he secures the catch well for his age. Solid skills to stay behind the dish in the future. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 74 mph, additional physical strength is needed to aid his development with the bat. The set up is even with his feet, front foot dives into the ball as the swing is initiated. Uses a big pick up and put down of the front foot as the ball approaches the hitting zone. The path is flat and he uses a 1-handed finish after contact with the ball.

Tee Exit Velocity- 74 mph
Catching Velocity- 72 mph
