Last Chance Preview (November 29, 2015)
Jonah is an athletic 5-foot-10, 165 pound catcher who ran a 4.83 Home to 1B and had a 79 MPH exit velocity. Offensively- Jonah starts in a spread but even position with his hands shoulder height. Demonstrates a controlled load and a heel lift for timing. Stays on back side during rotation. Stays moderately short to contact with a finish that cuts out of the zone a bit early. Repeats efforts and attacks the ball. Defensively- Behind the plate Jonah stays soft while receiving and was fundamental with his blocking. Quick with getting his feet in postion during throwdowns, front side shoots up the 3B line some which can cause throws tail back into the runner. Strong enough arm behind the plate at 71 MPH. 1.99-2.05 range with a chance to even be a bit better.
