Big build at 6-foot-1, 200 pounds. Moves well defensively, top defensive catcher on the day. Solid base, consistently around 2.00-2.05 pop time. Showed above average blocking ability and a strong, short arm. Offensively, has a compact swing. Got around the ball in 1st at bat, but made the adjustment to stay inside for his 2nd at bat. On the mound, sits 80 with some arm side run. Will drop down on occasion with a slider from down there that flashes plus. Fastball plays more like 83 with the threat of the slider. Big body with good feel on the mound and behind the plate.
Big, strong , broad shouldered catcher. Defensively, he has some projectable actions. There is some stiffness, but the hands works and moves well behind the plate. There is present strength and uses the lower half well offensively. He drove balls gap-to-gap and translated to the game with a double short hopping the center field wall.
