The already strongly built backstop had a notable showing in all areas of his game. He started off our LHHs with a loud round, finding consistent barrels and multiple gaps. He has a sweet, smooth lefty swing that produces quality contact with little effort, showing off as one of the top hitters of the day. In the box he had a high confidence look and strong presence at 5-foot-9, 173-pounds. He also impressed on the mound with a FB showing good ASR (76-77), and a CH that dropped well at 64-67. His CB showed good spin and presented a different look.
