Gates stands as the top uncommitted catcher in the class and is one of the top bat-to-ball guys remaining on the board. A 7-flat runner who got out the gate at a 1.64 10-yard split, Gates setup with a slight pre-coil and deep handset before a simple swinging stride helps him uncoil and rotate on-plane. The hand-eye is something I've seen consistently over 3+ years, and he reached a peak exit of 95 mph while averaging 86 at this event. Gates shows well-above average arm strength from the crouch, up to 81 there, good for pops into the 1.9s. He is also more-than-capable of playing an average to better 2B at the D1 level, with the hand-eye showing up there also and the arm strength translating to 88 across.
Gates is a versatile SS/C w arm strength and aggressive actions in total. His right-handed hacks play with some feel & aggression with exits reaching 93-plus from an athletic operation. The arm is an above average tool, working 87 across, and allowing for above-average catch and throw skills with an average run time showing now (7.15).
Cam Gates, Bedford-North Lawrence High School (IN), 2027
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-10, 150-pounds. Lean, projectable build.
Hit: RHH. Starts with a small crouch, pre-hinged into back hip. Smooth, leg kick stride with compact hand load. Elbows remain loose. Barrel works slightly uphill to match plane. Quick, twitchy hands. High follow '27
Power: 88 max exit velocity, averaged 79.7 mph. 303' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-80 mph. Loose, quick moving arm from a 3/4 slot.

Cam Gates, Bedford North Lawrence (IN), 2027
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-9, 150-pounds. Lean, athletic build
Hit: RHH. Starts in a balanced, crouched stance. Leg kick stride works on-time with a smooth hand load, creates separation at heel-strike. Twitchy hands deliver the barrel on a short, direct path that works uphill after contact. Some g2g strength with more on the way as he matures. Solid '27 follow.
Power: 87 max exit velocity, averaged 82.4 mph. 318' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-76 mph. Loose, slingy arm action works from a 3/4 slot
Defense: Fundamental defender. Quick feet play on-time with the catch, shows soft glove actions. Moves well laterally, shows feel for a quick transfer. Good body control. Actions are playable and should translate in-game.
