1/4/14 - Wright is a 5-foot-11, 170-pound right-handed pitcher with a high ¾ slot and quick arm.  He starts with a simple controlled knee lift then rares back and chucks it at the plate – reminiscent of a big league closer's delivery.  His fastball ranged in the 80-82 mph range.  He threw a 69-71 breaking ball with late breaking stuff to it and has a 68-69 change up.
1/4/14 - Wright is a 5-foot-11, 170-pound left-hand hitting catcher.  From behind the plate he showed quick feet and clean exchanges.  He had the top throwing velocity among the catchers at 77 mph and also flashed a pop time of 2.09.  All of his throws were on or near the bag.  At the plate he starts with a closed stance and stays closed as he strides.  He has no hand load allowing him to consistently deliver a level bat path. He worked mostly middle-oppo.  His top bat speed was 78 mph.
