5-foot-10, 150-pound, average athletic frame. The shoulders are squared off, back is wide, has plenty of room to fill out and to get stronger. A right-handed hitting catcher, performed well both offensively and defensively. At the plate, has a very simple, basic setup and approach to the baseball. The hands are set just below the shoulders, are loose and relaxed, feet are slightly wider, with front foot starting slightly open.  For timing uses a controlled toe tap, hands have separation from the body, gets weight back into a good hitting position. The swing is flat through the zone, a line drive approach, looks to shoot it to both gaps. The front side, lead leg could stay a bit stronger, small collapse. The tee exit velocity was and an easy 77 mph, has more in the tank. Ran the sixty yard dash at 7.87. Defensively, receiving skills are very good, works low to the ground, gets around the baseball, hands are soft and doesn't lose many strikes. The transfer was clean, gains ground with footwork and gets closed up for release of the baseball. The arm action is clean and short, throws right from his ear, arm was clocked at 73 mph, showed strength and carry to the throws. Pop time was at 2.2-2.3, leans forward just so slightly, needs to stay back, might help with being on time more. Plenty to like from this one, good follow.
