April 28, 2022 Zach Guth Assistant Scouting Director, NY/PA
Top Performer Report
'23 C/OF Brian Zweigbaum (Holy Trinity) is the #8 ranked catcher in his class in NY for a reason. At the plate, Zweigbaum is a barrel machine as he posted a 98 MPH max exit velocity, 70% sweet spot rate, and a 70% hard hit rate. All these metrics are the makings of a good hitter. Zweigbaum showed off an adjustable swing that mainly stayed very tight and rotational. Behind the dish, Zweigbaum goes flexed to extended upon receiving the ball. He stays low while receiving and wastes not time on the transfer to throw. The arm strength is a highlight of his skillset behind the plate. With a 81 MPH velocity from the crouch and his agile lower half, Zweigbaum is able to post a 1.97-2.03 pop time in a showcase setting. The '23 backstop profiles as your traditional, hard hitting catcher who has the ability to produce a lot of runs.
