John Carroll commit. 5-foot-9, 170-pound athletic build and actions. Above average catch and release actions, quick and clean out of the chute, cushions blocks. Arm is short and over the top, throws on the bag regularly, 2.12 pop in-game. Smooth path from the left side of the dish, works middle/opposite field, stays on the ball. Turned around the center fielder on a stand up double and singled through the left side of the infield, walked and stole a bag.
8/8/18 - 5-foot-9, 160-pound, lean, athletically-built, left-handed hitting catcher. Offensively, athletic, balanced setup, smooth calm load, short stride and maintains balance through contact. Loose hands, level bat path, gets extension, line-drive middle of the field approach and fluid rhythm throughout. 77 mph exit velocity from a tee. Defensively, clean actions, maintains direction out of the crouch. Traditional catcher arm action, short and over-the-top. Throws topped at 73 mph from the crouch and pop times ranged between 2.14-2.22. 7.56 runner in the 60, laser-timed.
3.16.18 - Lean, wiry, left-handed hitting outfielder/catcher. Hits in the two-hole for Brother Rice. Open, athletic setup. Easy, simple swing, stays within himself and looks to control the barrel. Hit a line-drive single up the middle and walked twice.
