Athletic right-handed hitting catcher who displayed the best pop time at the event, 1.98. The receiving skills are solid and his arm path is ideal for the position. The feet work well and his transfer still needs to continue to improve. Threw 73 mph from behind the dish. Really like his ability to defend. Receiving is soft and he secures the catch appropriately. Ran a 4.8 down the line on his dig, as that will have to improve. At the plate, had a tee exit velocity of 80 mph. Physical strength is needed to help the bat develop and aid his overall game. Hits out of an even footed, slightly-open set up. Picks up and puts down the front foot as the ball approaches. The path to the ball is long, the hands are casted out and the barrel takes too long to get through the zone. Better hand direction will help, as he has loose actions.
