Switch hitting, athletic catcher that also shows enough natural talent to play other spots on the field as well. Identical set up from both sides of the plate as he has a fairly wide set up with the feet and he shows a nice rhythmic load of the hands. The swing is well synced and very balanced. Really like the extension he gets through the hitting zone. Behind the plate he shows nice hip flexibility. The catch and throw transfer is fairly quick and the actions are clean. Moves well side to side and is quiet receiving with a strong mitt sticking pitches.

Jabez Sampson (2022, C/SS, Hazel Green) 5’4 125 lbs.- Showed nice athleticism behind the plate and did a nice job of swaying his body in and out to extend the strike zone when receiving pitches. Was very quiet receiving pitches and did a nice job of sticking pitches. Quick catch and throw skills with solid fundamentals and the pop time will get better as the arm gets stronger. At the plate he showed a nice short stroke and very nice bat speed from both sides (switch hitter) and some strength in the hands. Really liked his middle of the field approach from both sides.
