One of Shooter Hunt’s top 75 (#37) impact position players of the Future Games, Poulson is no stranger to LakePoint as he was a member of Team Colorado at the 2021 Jr Future Games. Would have been a Team Utah alum a year ago if not for an unfortunate injury just before the event took place. Now back in GA, Poulson was the difference in a 10-7 win vs Colorado on day one, as he powered a 3-R HR to left that was the difference maker. A lean and thin athletic catcher who also participated in the West Coast ProCase back in June at Pepperdine. Poulson has a chance to be a solid avg catch and throw type with solid receiving skills and moves well side to side and is quick to drop and block, while keeping balls in front to pounce and recover. A pop tone in the vicinity of 1.95-2.05 consistently and is always on the money with his throws. An avg arm and clean exchange will only get quicker as he continues to grow and get stronger and add leg strength in quickening the feet to get into position to exchange and throw. The setup to hit is unique as he spreads out with a heel lift from a still position with the bat resting on his shoulder. He takes an inward front turn of his left hip and left knee to get his weight back and then fires the hands and knob from his shoulder with an inside out stroke, that’s short to and long through. The finish can at times be a full two hand or one hand finish, depending on where he strikes the baseball in the zone, to balance himself throughout the swing. The athletic receiver is also a near avg runner at 7.06/60 and it wouldn’t surprise me to see some 6.8-6.9’s over the next couple of years as I said with added leg strength and filling out. The running gate is smooth and on a straight line with no sway on the straightaway. An all around catcher that has already received 5 offers with 3 being of the power 4 variety. More should role in over time, but he has some solid choices to date.
2/24/24

Poulson still remains the #1 prospect in the class, based on the defensive profile behind the plate and his projectable frame and strong defensive tools. This is the first aspect of his game that catches your eye! Getting low to the ground from the one knee down setup, Poulson works from the ground up with the glove, in working under the baseball to steal low K’s and frames well for his experience level. Sticks pitches and gives a good look to present well in getting calls. The feet are quick and comes out of the shoot ready to throw with 1.94-1.97 pop times. The throws are accurate and will thwart a running game at this level. Blocks and recovers well and has a good strong base to be a solid avg to plus receiver. At the plate, now featuring a lay the bat on the shoulder wide setup, and leaves the bat in this position as he turns his left hip inward to coil into the launch position. Fires the hands from his shoulder and stays on plane and through the ball with LD’s to the big part of the field without selling out for pull power. An athletic running gate with a middle INF background at a younger age is serving his athleticism as a catcher well and is currently the starting catcher as a sophomore for state and regional powerhouse American Fork. Will attend the Future Games this summer!

Young 14 yr old C/UTL with advanced tools and skills for his age. A 2021 Jr Future Games alum with a father who played college baseball. Plays for top rated ‘26 Trosky National and was voted top performer at the PBR Rising Stars ID. Features a long lean athletic build that has plenty of room for growth, development and maturity. An upright, open stance with flex to the knees and shows hand and body rhythm in the box. Coils his front knee inward as he makes his way back to square and is soft out front at foot strike. The swing is quick for his age w/a compact, knob to ball fluid stroke w/a full two hand finish around his back shoulder. The glove behind the plate is advanced and he receives softly and lets the ball travel, while he is quick to block and keeps balls in front and is tough to advance on, as he is quick out front and side to side in recovering. Has solid footwork and a quick clean exchange and his throws have something on them and carry thru the bag with on the money throws. At SS, Cache shows educated feet w/athletic actions, while playing from the ground up and out front. Solid player who is putting himself out front and on the radar within his grad class.
