5-foot-11, 170-pound right-handed hitting catcher. Batted fourth and started behind the plate against Top Tier North. Gathje sets up in a balanced stance with smooth loading actions. Short and uphill swing path, showcased present bat strength. Found the barrel on a loud solo home run that cleared the left field wall with ease at Routine Field.

5-foot-11, 170-pound right-handed hitting catcher. 7.07 runner. Square stance, easy body load, balanced in box, shows above avg. pop to mid/pull side of field, some extra movements with bat waggle, but shows consistent hard contact, 82 mph exit velocity. Average footwork and exchange, lower arm slot, pie arm action, quicker release, sinking action on throws to bag, 72 mph arm strength with 2.19-2.40 pop times.
3/17/18- 5-foot-10, 165-pound right-handed hitting catcher. 7.2 runner. Lean frame with wiry strength, leg kick trigger with shoulder load, launch angle oriented swing, spray contact with flashes of pop in bat, 80 mph exit velocity. Flexible with mobility behind plate, blocks ball well, inconsistent receiver, aggressive through plate, low arm slot, elevated throws to bag, 72 mph arm strength with 2.2-2.28 pop times.
10/22/17- 5-foot-10 150-pound right-handed hitting catcher. 7.47 runner. Crouched stance, leg kick trigger into body load, hitchy rhythm in hands, off-time with trigger, spray contact across field, 71 mph exit velocity. Works around plate, long exchange, some stiffness in throwing, avg. accuracy to bag, raw mechanics but should continue to improve, 67 mph arm strength with 2.5-2.52 pop times.
