Cape Cod: Was All-Pac-12 as a freshman in 2021 but saw limited growth in his offensive game this past spring. He struggled to put together quality at bats with Orleans, striking out in 20% of his plate appearances and batting just .188 over his 25 games. There's some length in his swing, but his cuts come with leverage and he'll flash some pop in BP. He also shows well behind the plate, making him an interesting breakout candidate to watch with the Longhorns this fall.
More than held his own as a true freshman this spring, logging 44 starts and slashing .299/.370/.429 for USC. The talented underclassman hit a wall on the Cape, however, batting just .203 and striking out in over a third of his 60 plate appearances while drawing just one walk. Defensively, Guillemette was impressive in my look, showing excellent blocking chops and side-to-side actions while routinely challenging runners with back-picks and managing his arms and infield with confidence. A name to tuck away for 2023.
SoCal ProCase: SPOTLIGHT
Guillemette, an Oregon recruit, had a solid weekend, producing firm contact in almost all of his at-bats. Durably-built at 6-foot-1, 197-pounds with thicker strength in the lower-half, he gets into his legs well from a crouched stance from the right side, and works uphill through the zone with a pull side approach. His was consistently between 2.03-2.13 between innings with accurate throws to second base and solid footwork.
Guillemette has long been considered one of the better catchers in his class and you'll get no argument from me on that. The Oregon commit appears to have worked some things out with his swing as he appears more comfortable at the plate and it showed this weekend. The junior also took to the mound on Sunday for an inning where he worked 86-87 mph (he's been up to 91) as he works himself back into form where he may end up being the closer for the Friars come spring.
