5-foot-10, 165-pound, average athletic frame, rounded shoulders, room for added strength. A right-handed hitting catcher, at the plate, simple setup, even wider feet. The hands are relaxed and loaded at shoulder height. Lower half is quiet, minimal pickup and put down. The swing is short to contact, level across the his chest, line drive approach to the middle of the field. The exit velocity was clocked at 79 mph, with more in there as he continues to work on his craft. Behind the plate had a pop time of 2.09-2.19, arm having strength to it at 72 mph. The feet are quick, blocks and scrambles, moves well back there. The glove is strong on catch, keeps strikes in the zone. Shows feel for catching, continued work on smoothing out the arm action, small wiggle on the backside. Good looking prospect.

Exit Velocity: 79 mph

Arm Velocity: 72 mph
