Catalano is XL framed 6-foot-3, 225 pound pitching prospect. The Milwaukee Area Technical College commit works down the mound with a high three-quarter slot creating leverage and some downhill angle with lateral bore and ride on his fastball up to 85 mph. His slider flashes out pitch quality with late two plane break for a swing and miss weapon. He throws his change-up with fastball intent and plays with some baby fade in the zone. The three pitch mix arsenal with the ability to spin a breaking ball and land his change up make Catalano a notable arm in the state.
