Santa Barbara recruit. Standing 6-foot-1, 190-pounds, Newman sports some defined strength throughout a strong frame, and looks the part of a catcher at the next level. He did a solid job of receiving behind the dish, but it was his work at the plate that stood out in the late game of the evening. He notched two hits against Gage Jump, and showed no issue handling the high velocity and elite stuff of the talented southpaw. Standing upright and slightly open, Newman is relaxed with the hands pre-pitch. His strong wrists/forearms provide for strength through the zone on a slightly uphill path as he works directly to the ball with the ability to use the whole field
