5-11, 185lb catcher with a thick lower half and room to finish his development in the upper body. The LHH works from a balanced stance with a slightly open set up, carrying his hands just off the back shoulder. He loads with a moderate leg kick and medium stride length and slightly turns the barrel at foot strike with minimum hand movement. The bat path is flatter through contact with some lofted tendencies at times. Worked the middle of the field during his BP rounds with low line drives. 84 MPH Exit Velo. Solid catchers build with good actions. Solid avg. arm strength with positional velocity of 78. Hands work and the exchanges are quick producing throws over the bag with 2.06-2.10 pop times. Low exchange with direct arm action just off the ear produced throws with moderate carry. Controlled and confident approach behind the plate, handled pitchers well during bullpen session. Block and recovery skills show a good athletic base and quick feet. Ran 7.40 sixty.
