+ '26 C Will Bobay (Borden HS) is a physical catcher that showed solid tools to pair with an athletic, 6-foot, 185 pound frame. There is a loose rhythm to the operation in the right-handed batter's box, lifting the bat off the shoulder to counterbalance a heavier forward move. He showed off some bat speed & strength with exits reaching 96.3 mph, and his best balls were spun to the pull-side gap due to his loose, level swing plane. He showed off above average arm strength (77 from the crouch) and was energetic with feel to block during bullpens.
