Spring Scout Blog: Uncommitted, projectable 2020 with good athleticism behind the plate and on the bases. Ranked number 20 in the 2020 class the 5-foot-9 backstop has above average hands with fluid feet and a quick exchange which allowed pop times of 1.89, 1.99, and 2.03. Quiet at the plate and sets up open in the RHH box with a short stride and a part lower half. Good balance with twitch. Short to the ball with a slightly uphill plain. Gap to gap at the moment but potential to add some additional pull side power down the road. Runs well. Back who has been a relative unknown to this point will not stay that way. Still raw with considerable room to grow.
