6-foot-0, 175-pound right hand hitting catcher/third base who ran a 7.6 60 time.  At the plate he starts with an open stance. Quieted down leg kick from last time we saw him. Now strides out with soft stride for timing.  Good lower leg drive through the swing produced an 83 MPH exit velocity. Strong kid. Behind the plate he sets up low in the zone and has good hands while receiving. Improved his pop time to 2.0 off the coach and there is room to improve because arm action is a tad long for a catcher.  His arm was 75 MPH with some accuracy.
