C Derrick Pomatto (Joliet Catholic, 2027) is a young backstop to know from the day. He looks to be a well-rounded player, pairing quality defense with a strong right-handed swing at the plate. Defensively, he showed a clean glove-to-hand operation with a pop-time as low as 1.97, topping out at 76 mph while keeping his throws around the bag. At the plate, he has a simple swing that is quick from launch, working flat through the zone with line-drives to the whole field (T92 mph EV).
