Dummer

Dummer makes his rankings debut at No. 85 in this rankings update after a productive year. Starting in the winter, Dummer showcased the improvements he made behind the plate where he recorded pop-times as low as 2.15. He also seemed to have improved offensively, working an aggressive leg kick to generate hard contact to his pull side. He put this pull side power on display at The Rock during the summer when he sent a ball over the left-field fence in a back-and-forth semifinal game. 

Dummer is a thick and strong backstop that marked improvements across the board. Behind the dish, he performed well, popping 2.15 while staying consistently on target with clean spin. In the box, he worked an aggressive leg kick into a tight turn, generating hard contact to the pullside with backspin repeatedly. The strides he has made to his physical capacity on both sides of the ball was on display throughout the day.
