Fields emerged as the top 2028 arm at the event with a strong-armed look that included control of multiple pitches. There is plenty of natural strength to his 6-foot-4, 195-pound frame and even more room to pack onto a future uber-physical frame. Repeating a simple delivery at a consistent clip, Fields pounded the zone with an 87-89 mph fastball that touched 90 with carry properties, and worked above the barrel versus some of the best bats at the event. He showed feel to manipulate a pair of breaking balls; a 73-76 CB with gyro depth and a 76-78 mph slider that averaged 2300+ spin. He also turned over a low-80s change that is at least an average pitch. While the future potential feels higher on the mound, there is real intrigue to what Fields brings to the offensive side as a 6-foot-4 left-handed hitting catcher. During batting practice, Fields hit several pull-side homers with a steeper path that he was able to create leverage with, good for 97-plus exits at peak with a max distance of 380 feet. He is at-least an average receiver, with the arm working up to 80 mph from the crouch.

The upside is immense with Fields just scratching the surface of his potential at present. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame is far from a finished product and he provided a quality look on both sides. On the bump, it is an old-school step-and-throw delivery as he finishes over the front-side with balance. It's a short, quicker arm stroke that he repeated well as he filled the zone up with fastball strikes at 86-88, touching 89. He pulled the string on a quality upper-70s change and showed an at-least average slider at 76-77. While there are room for refinements here, his ability to get to upper-80s velocities with ease and control leaves bullish projections moving forward. On the offensive side, the primary backstop showed a highly-valued profile as a LHH catcher with arm strength. There is some rigidness in the box, but he turns the barrel on-plane deep and reached a peak exit of 93 mph, while also firing it 80 mph from the crouch, good for second amongst all participants.
