PBR Colorado strives to be the most comprehensive source of player information across the state. The Prep Baseball Report is the No. 1 resource for high school baseball in each state we cover through our variety of events, boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, daily coverage, and multimedia platforms. Our multimedia platforms and events work in tandem, ultimately creating the most powerful source of high school baseball promotion in each state. While other organizations take a national approach, our goal is to become the authoritative voice on the ground level of each state.

Scouting Report

Currently ranked No. 35 in Colorado 2019 rankings. 5-foot-10, 170-pound right hand hitting C. At the plate hits from an open stance, double tap to trigger the swing, solid balance. Short loose path, hands create bat speed, projectable traits at the plate. Behind the plate, he has a loose arm action throwing from a high three quarter slot with carry on throws and accurate. Smooth transfer with quick feet in exchange to throw from behind the plate. The junior catcher for RV worked well behind the plate and collected 4 hits in 5 at bats, with three singles and a double, he squared the ball and seemed to be able to show excellent balance at the plate and good bat speed.  Another player who should be outstanding for RV in the future. On the season is hitting .476 with 7 doubles.
