Power / Speed Score
A simple calculation that divides the athlete’s Exit Velocity Max by the athlete’s 60 Yard Dash time for the given event year. For example, 98 MPH / 7.00s = 14.00.
The 5-foot-6, 135 pound left-handed hitting catcher had a tee exit velocity of 77 mph. He begins out of an athletic wide base. The hands set high and the bat laying flat on the back shoulder. As he begins to load, the bat gets into a good hitting position and the weight moves to the back leg. The swing itself is fluid and he does show the ability to drive the ball to the pull side. Behind the plate, he begins in a slightly closed set up, with the glove in a good position. During the game, he showed he can move well laterally and receives well. Throwing to second base, the feet are light and get into a good throwing position. The transition from glove to throwing is clean and he gets the arm in a good position. As he throws, were 66 mph down to second base with a pop time of 2.1 to 2.2 seconds. As he gets extended, there is some slowing of the arm at the release and a recoil. If he can work keeping consistent arm speed throughout the throws, he should continue to get better. He also ran a 8.4 second sixty at the event.I like the potential of this young catcher. He’s a nice left-handed bat with a chance to develop into a solid catcher.
