Scouting Report

3/16/14 - Ohio commit. Sturdy 5-foot-11, 190-pound left handed hitting catcher. High level hitter, has a strong knack for finding the barrel, controls his bat well. Hits from a slightly open stance, relaxed setup, smooth loading action, short stride, maintains excellent balance through contact. Short efficient path to the baseball, high contact hitter. Advanced approach that uses the whole field, Rott is one of the more polished hitters in his class. Defensively uses a short arm action from an over the top slot out of the crouch, played at 78 mph with carry. Pop times ranged from 2.08-2.14, improved footwork and explosiveness out of the crouch can improve pop times. Soft hands receives well within the framework of his body.

11/17/13 - Verbally committed to Ohio University.
