Wingate commit. Athletic behind the dish, wanting to help and communicate with his pitchers. Arm strength has carry and accuracy with pop times ranging 1.99-2.06 with a positional velocity of 77 mph from the crouch. Quick feet with quick, clean exchanges. Short arm path to an over-the-top slot. Offensively, the 6-foot-1, 180 pounder works balanced and athletic, loading back and using a short stride. Simple, loose, and direct with the bat head. Has aggression. Exit velocity topped at 84 mph. Better than average bat speed. Works level, wants extension, and has a pull tendency.
Fastball ranged 82-84 from an over-the-top slot. Quick arm works with a short arm swing. Level shoulders, slightly closed at balance and landing slightly closed. Breaking ball uses near fastball hand speed to create a sharp 10/4 action at 68-70. Change up sat 75-76 with slight arm side run. Threw all three for strikes, lacking premium command of any.
