Footwork is developing in quickness and angle taken to the ball. Average arm at 71 mph across the diamond for position velocities. Behind the dish he has quiet, fluid actions. Feet work well, creating direction and gaining ground to second base. Arm action is compact and fits the spot. Threw with accuracy and developing strength to second base.  Really like what I saw from Vilevac at the plate. Impressive feel up there for a prospect his age. Sprayed line drives all over the field, displaying both strength and twitch to his hands. Does a nice job of balancing control and intent in swing.
