As the calendar turns to February and 2021 is in the increasingly distant past, its time to begin to turn our attention to quickly approaching 2022 high school baseball season. Today, we continue our annual "Spring Forward" series by thinking warm thoughts and highlighting top players in each region that we have seen before and are looking forward to again this spring in a variety of categories for the upcoming 2022 season.

Today, we continue breaking down some of the top catchers in the western part of our coverage area.

2022 C Owen Prince, Lord Botetourt HS (@TeamvaB)

Has been really good behind the plate. Regularly trying to back pick runners at 2B from knees and has caught a few off guard. Has controlled run game, blocks a CB in dirt here to hold runner at 1B.#PBRMA17u @PBRVirginiaDC pic.twitter.com/3u2gMap4dT
