Arm: With pop time ranging from 1.95-2.06, Ryan was able to keep the ball on a line and with accuracy.

Defense: Very athletic behind the plate, works from ground up with pitches to frame.  His strong arms frames inside and outside pitches.  Blocking is quick and gets to the ball easily.  Quick feet to transfer from glove to hand.  Managed game well and worked with each pitcher individually to make them trust Ryan.

CCB World Series - Lee was an anchor behind the plate using his arm, blocking and receiving to help his team in any way. Lee showed the true marks of a catcher taking some clean shots on foul tips and kept getting back in and making plays. The medium, full frame is wide with athletic feet and agile actions able to bounce from position and showing strength in the frame. Behind the plate Lee showed a firm wrist with quiet movements beating the baseball to spots. His blocking was also good sacrificing himself to prevent the ball from getting by and smothering pitches into the dirt. He threw out 4 runners during the games (2.09-2.19 Pop, 74 MPH) and was regularly on the bag in between innings with a quick flick release. At the plate he stands wide and very low with high even hands. There’s a pronounced upward movement from the front shoulder, but he showed the ability to whip the barrel through the zone grabbing two doubles on the final day (83 EV). In between innings I would talk with him about sequences and he had a good idea of what his pitcher wanted to do and how to attack hitters.
