Jesus
Ponce

Ponce was the only catcher in attendance on the day but had a great showing behind the dish. He is still pretty skinny so there is a lot of room for him to fill into his frame (6’0” 151.9lbs), the first thing that was noticeable was the arm strength, which was up to 77 mph during the defensive workout. His arm is only going to get stronger as he matures, especially when he cleans up his footwork, Ponce has a shot to be one of the talented catchers in the 28 class. The lengthy catcher ran a 7.76 60 yard dash with a top run speed of 17.9 mph, had a max jump height of 20.3 in, and an RSI max of 0.99. During the hitting workout, Ponce took aggressive hacks in the box, with a violent finish, and a good sense of barrel feel. Ponce had a max hand speed of 68.6 mph, paired with a max EV of 92.2 mph (83.4 mph EV avg). Alot of his hard hit balls were towards the middle of the field, spraying the yard with line drives in his later rounds. The timing was a bit off in the first round, but once the adjustment was made, the BP got a lot better. Ponce just recently transferred into Laguna Creek High School looking to make an impact immediately at his new home.
