Uncommitted. Five-foot-10, 185-pounds. Medium build that is durable with strength throughout and room for refinement. Is efficient in his movements behind the plate where the arm strength is fair with accuracy. Athletic in his actions when blocking and recovering balls in the dirt popping up in position to make a throw. Uses a high leg lift trigger that shifts weight to back leg before driving into the ball with quick hands showing excellent feel for the barrell and the ability to spray line drives to all fields, particularly the gaps. Showed in-game that he understands how to call a game by mixing pitches and locations to set hitters up.

Five-foot-10, 185-pounds. Durable, strong, medium build that is loose behind the plate showing efficient movements and receiving skills. Rocks his body into position before exploding out of crouch and into throws to second base. Showed athletic movements in reacting to balls in dirt and popping out of crouch for bunt play. Arm strength is fair, but accuracy was on point on all throws. At the plate he started with a neautral setup with an even base that allowed him to ride the back hip into the ball. Uses a leg kick as timing and drove the balls into gaps and on a line when the foot was able to get down. On the mound Tallakson flashed a quick-to-fast arm that produced a lot of movement on his pitches, particularly his curveball that he keeps below the hitters knees at 70-71 mph. His changeup is developing but the run on it impressed. It’s almost as though he doesn’t fully trust the pitch yet but there’s feel for it.
