Scouting Report

07/26/17- Young, 5-foot-11, 165-pound catcher has a projectable athletic build. Worked well behind the plate receiving by keeping his body quiet. Showed a strong arm in the showcase with a 2.1-2.2 pop time and in the game by nabbing a base stealer at third. Transfer was clean but would occasionally stand up to high. Could work on flexibility to become quick and more mobile behind the plate. Offensively the left handed hitting catcher swings with good intent. Occasionally steep to the ball. Has ability to use all fields as he laced a line drive single to left in his game

01/21/17- Lanky 5-foot-10, 150 pounds, looks taller. Left handed hitting catcher. Pop times were 2.13-2.15 with a velocity of 76 mph. 81 mph on the exit velocity. Simple swing, good bat path. Found consistent barrel in batting practice. Also translated to the game with a nice opposite field single in game shooting a line drive into the left field gap. Very projectable and bat will continue to improve will added strength as the path works.
