Defense: 2.02-2.10 pop times. Advanced catching skills, received well working low to high to steal strikes, blocked well laterally.

Uncommitted. Six-foot-2, 175-pounds. Extra-large frame with wiry strength throughout. High waist with long legs/arms. Plenty of room to add strength to the frame. Starts tall at the plate with a slight knee bend using a toe-tap trigger to get going. Whips barrel through the zone with present bat speed showing feel for the barrel and the ability to drive balls into the gaps with a slight uppercut path. Defensively he sets up with his weight evenly distributed down through the heels. Shows excellent catch/throw skills with clean, quick transfers and a strong, accurate arm on throwdowns - all on the bag at second. Gains ground towards the bag on his exchanges. Does an excellent job of sticking pitches with proper glovework. A very athletic catcher, Lavin has the present tools to not only stay, but thrive, at the position moving forward.
