He’s a soft-handed receiver with simple and efficient actions on defense that helped him land accurate throws to second in the 2.07-2.09 range. Harvie can be considered one of the state’s top sophomore backstops headed into the offseason.

Harvie is a quality defender behind the dish, receiving with maturity and displaying quick controlled actions on his throws down to second. While showing quality footwork, quick exchanges, and clean carry through the target, Harvie popped as low as 2.05 to the bag at a 71 mph max. In the box, he presents a fundamental operation setting up wide and using a small forward advance, consistently pulling balls in the air with quick barrel action. As Harvie matures physically, and adds more bat speed, he’ll be a catcher to know.
