NY Games (June 25-27, 2017)
5-foot-8, 165-pound catcher, ran an 8.38/60. Offensively - uses inner knee rotation and brings bat through the zone on level path at an exit velocity of 78 MPH, comfortable driving to middle third of the field, gets full extension after contact, will benefit from lower body engagement. Defensively - sure glove, with quick transfer to throwing hand, position velocity of 69 MPH and POP time of 2.10-2.22, consistent release point will improve accuracy.
