The swing is level, has bat speed through the zone. looks to keep the hands inside the baseball, barrel is on the zone, has a middle to opposite field approach. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 83 mph and runs really well for a catcher at 7.16. Defensively, does a solid job behind the plate, setup is wide, balanced, works low to the ground. The hands are soft and strong on the catch, secures the pitch with ease. Pop time of 2.03-2.09, with arm clocked at 74 mph, works from a higher slot. The feet are quick, moves well back there, block and scramble performed correct.  Will be a solid pickup for someone.
