5'11, 195-pound, SHH shows power from both sides of the plate. Close to mature build in medium frame w/ physical, powerful build. From the left side, hits w/ an open, slightly crouched stance and back shoulder hand location. Leg kick w/ long but proper load. Pull oriented approach w/ natural loft. Similar swing from the right-side w/ shorter leg kick, less hand load. Power first catcher w/ pull power to both fields. Defensively, presents a big target w/ quality glove target. Shows avg release w/ carry to target.
9/9/17 - 6-0, 215 pound catcher. Switch hitter is better from the left side. LH - hits from open, slightly crouched stance w/ bat either resting on shoulder or out in front of body. Leg kick to slightly open landing w/ high hands location. Hands have slight hitch with moving up slightly, creating swing length. RH - hits from open, upright stance w/ back shoulder hands location. Leg kick lands open w/ hips opening too early, limiting plate coverage. Hand load is cleaner, but still a slight moving up of the hands to create a little length. Power over average player offensively w/ some swing and miss. Defensively, shows enough athleticism to stay behind the plate. Presents quality target for pitcher w/ ability to box balls. Gets a little stabby and locked out as a receiver, limiting framing ability, though easy fix. 2.15-2.22 pop w/ avg footwork, arm strength. Overall, profiles as a power hitting catcher providing average defense.
9/25/16 - 60 Time: 7.60, Pop Time: 1.99-2.03, Position Velocity: C-68, Exit Velocity: 86
5-foot-11, 190-pound, SHH hits from a the same balanced and open stance we saw from him at the Underclass Games a couple of months ago, begins with some high hand positioning that comes down and back with a pretty normal but longer stride to get loaded, lower half is a little more explosive from the left side but works well from both, bat path is a little steep but flattens out with some lift at the end, swing is almost identical from both sides, showed an ability to hit the ball anywhere on the field with some power potential from the left side. Defensively, showed improved quickness with good hands and footwork behind the plate, short and quick arm action came from an over-the-top slot, if arm strength improved he would shoot quickly onto a lot of radars.
7/26/16 - Home-1st: 4.91, Pop Time: 2.02-2.13, Position Velocity: 72, Exit Velocity: L-85, R-84
6-foot-0, 200-pound, SHH hits from a balanced and open stance from both sides of the plate and begins with his hands up near his head (a little higher from the left side), uses a smooth stride and lowering and push back of his hands to get loaded, lower half drifts just slightly but does fire well and creates some extra bat speed from both sides of the plate, bat path is a little steeper from the left side because of how high his hands start, but is still able to create some lift at the end of his swing, hit hard line drives to left field from the right side and a lot of ground balls from the left side. Defensively, showed above average hands and good footwork by putting himself in the right positions, quick exchange and short arm action got rid of the ball with decent arm strength and accuracy.
