O’Day is a solid 5-foot-11, 175 pound right-handed hitting catching prospect. He hits out of an even set up with the weight starting over the front leg. The hands are set just off the back shoulder, with some pre pitch movement. The load is triggered by a knee slide to get the weight over the back leg. The swing has some lift and generated a max exit velocity of 86.1 MPH during the batting practice. He gets good extension through contact and remains balanced throughout.

Defensively, O’Day showed a strong arm, with a pop time range of 1.97-2.03 seconds and a velocity of 76 MPH. The stance is balanced, with the glove set in the middle of the chest. As he transitions to throw to second, the feet get the hips in line with the target. The ball exchange is quick, clean and allows the arm to get on top.

5-foot-8, 150-pound, thin, wiry strong athletic frame, plenty of room for added weight and mass. A right-handed hitting catcher, top tool is his ability to catch and throw. The arm was clocked at 72 mph with a pop time of 2.11-2.25, the arm is clean and shows to have some whip to it out of a higher slot. The hands could soften a bit on the catch, looks to reach for the baseball. The footwork is quick, with little wasted movement, gains ground and closes down the front side. All throws were close to the bag, with added arm and overall strength, pop time will drop. Offensively, hits from a shorter stance, feet are even, hands are relaxed and loose at the shoulders. For timing uses a small leg kick, gains ground with stride foot. The swing is level to up, short to contact and stays through the baseball. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 69 mph, has more in there as he adds strength. Time down the line on the dig was 4.57, ran well, looked to have an athletic kick. Interesting prospect, strength is a must, potential to catch at a higher level.
