Name: Zachary Fascia
Position: C/RHP
Grade: 2016
Height/Weight: 6-foot-1, 190 pounds
High School: Turner Fenton Secondary School
Ranking: 10th in Ontario's 2016 class

Evaluation: Fascia stands 6-foot-1 190 pounds and looks like a next level catcher now. Fascia has next level prowess behind the dish. The skilled catcher uses athletic mechanics with a quick transfer to an over the top slot. Pop times were all consistent at 1.91-1.92 on all throws and accurate. Fascia swings a nice stick from the left side with a knee to knee load and balanced approach. On the mound, Fascia has good size while showing good arm strength, sitting 84-86 mph on the fastball. He has good action on the ball and threw a lot of strikes. His curveball had some sharp spin with 11/5 shape at 65-68 mph. Fascia is a baseball junky and work horse. He projects as a catcher (1.91 pop times all day) at the next level but has pitching in his back pocket. He will only get better.
