4/2/14 - Ranked No. 98 in Illinois’ 2014 class. One of the top unsigned seniors in the state. Offensive-minded catcher with solid arm strength behind plate and on mound. Sturdy 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame. Relaxed, confident plate approach, loose hands, excellent balance. In first at-bat, turned on Bryan Pall’s 88-mph fastball for double to left field. Second at-bat, singled sharply through the 5-6 hole on an 87-mph Pall offering. … Came in to pitch in third inning. Simple, repeatable mechanics, high-3/4 slot, strike-thrower. Fastball sat 82-85 mph, dialed it up to 87 to get a strikeout to end third inning. Curveball is good pitch, consistently thrown for strikes, two-plane break in 70-71 range. … Also excellent student.
4/29/13 - Currently ranked No. 87 in Illinois’ 2014 class. Sturdy 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame. Right-handed hitter with simple, aggressive approach. Looks like he can flat hit, and he did so during the Fall Prospect Program for seven weeks. Looks vastly improved behind plate; feet are more athletic than the fall, and transfer is much quicker. Pop times ranged between 2.00-2.10 between innings. Went 1-for-2 in game with a walk; hard single up the middle. Bats cleanup for Lyons Township.
2/17/13 - Sturdy frame, 6-foot-1, 188-pound catcher. Defensively uses long arm action, arm showed carry, 78 mph from the crouch, lacked accuracy, pop times ranged from 2.22-2.33. Offensively shows solid presence. Hits from balanced stance, smooth load, short stride, solid balance throughout. Bat path stays long through the baseball, some pull tendencies, 84 mph exit velocity from the tee.
