One of the standouts behind the plate with an event best pop time of 1.92 was Horizon catcher David Daniels. Daniels behind the dish has smooth receiving skills with a quick transfer and accurate arm. At the plate Daniels has a base that sits just outside shoulder width with high hands. His bat works flat through the zone with consistent hard contact and a top EV of 89.3 mph. With added strength and size we see Daniels projectability at the Division 1 level. We look forward to seeing Daniels this spring as he goes into his Sophomore season at Horizon.
