With a springy, athletic 6-0 175 lb. frame Deschamps is a pure catcher with instincts and receiving ability, he has great feel for the position. Moves free and easy with quick feet and soft hands that allow for a seamless transfer on throws to bases. He has an adequate arm with accuracy with recorded pop times in the 2.0-2.2 range. A smooth lefty swing with advanced pitch recognition only adds to his stock.

2020, left-handed hitting catcher from Quebec who plays for ABC Academie. Listed at 5-foot-11, 175-pounds with young features and room to add strength to frame. Ran a 7.28 with regular effort. Accurate with throws on bag and best pop time of 1.99. Works in to hips in setup defensively, receives with confidence and should continue to add arm strength. Controlled and balanced setup offensively, there is some bat speed to work with and had exit velo of 89 mph. Big double in game as he drove fastball to right-field gap while also threw out two runners on the bases. Lots to like and more to come from Deschamps as someone who can stick behind the plate and contribute at the plate from the left-side.
