Bay Area World Series 2022 - Uncommitted; Rangy frame with lanky proportions and some strength but can certainly develop more strength and mass on that body, strong all-around performance rated well with all catchers at BAWS 2022, C mph was up to 78 mph which ranked 3rd among catchers, pops were 2.04-2.15 which shows some inconsistency in the release but the 2.04 does match well with the arm strength, showed accurate throws as well, competitive in each of his 7 plate apperances with no strikeouts and quality contact, ran 7.34 60-yd, 92.5 max EV mph, 22.2% hard hit (balls hit over 90 mph), 44.4% sweet spot %, some strong top hand resulted in quite a bit of ground ball contact though it WAS solid contact. Among a strong group of catchers he was one of the top players and goes into his senior season as one who could definitely emerge and develop to the level of many who may already be committed to a 4-year school.
