6/20/18 - 6-foot-1, 170-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a leg-hang stride. Showcased an 84 mph bat exit velocity and went 2-for-6 in game action while putting together a number of quality at bats over two days. 6.97 runner displayed developing defensive skills with 73 mph arm strength from his outfield position.

7/26/17 - 6-foot, 165-pound right-handed hitters swing is initiated from slightly open setup with short stride remaining open. Head is still with good balance demonstrated.  Bat exit velocity of 82 mph was recorded. Bat is held somewhat deep in hands.  Open set up and stride create some difficulty consistently covering outer half.  There is tendency to sway with hips.  Would benefit from a more neutral stride and a more aggressive hip turn.  Foot speed is excellent for catcher as evidenced by a 7.03 60-yard dash.

Defensively, a soft glove hand with good framing and blocking technique is demonstrated.  Clean transfer, short throwing motion and quick feet allow 66 mph arm strength to play up to pop times of 2.19-2.22.
