SCOUTING REPORT
Currently ranked 9th in the PBR Pennsylvania Class of 2023 and 1st among catchers, the 5-foot-9, 160-pound right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride. Displayed the ability to create some backspin with the potential for future power. Barrel control is affected at times with some lower half glide. Registered a bat exit velocity of 81 mph and ran a 7.87 60-yard dash. Showcased advanced defensive abilities behind the plate with pop times of 2.15-2.28 on throws of 73 mph out of the crouch. The two-way prospect also showed advanced abilities on the mound sitting 81-84 from an over-the-top arm slot with a long, whippy arm action. Curveball showed tight 11/5 rotation and two-plane break at 64-69. Changeup displayed some arm-side run at 75-76.
THOUGHTS ON THE FUTURE
“A chance to be a legit two way prospect at the next level, Faulcon demonstrated a solid rhythm at the plate hinting towards power potential in the future. While showcasing the ability to handle a pitching staff and throw runners out with regularity, the catcher should only improve measurables across the board defensively. The right-handed pitcher had an impressive showing on the mound at the Future Prospects Showcase while touching 84 with a whippy arm and a tight curveball with two-plane break. Added velocity should be expected as he matures with room to add size and strength onto his frame.”
PLAYER COMPARISON
*Many times coaches will ask our staff "Who does he remind you of?" Player "comps" are a popular tool in the scouting/recruiting world and we have decided to add that niche to our feature articles.
