John Daniel Coleman is a 2022 catching prospect from Effingham County and he checked in at 5-foot-10, 155-pounds. The terms athletic and versatile immediately come to mind when describing Coleman. He hits from both sides of the plate with a compact stroke, showing the ability to drive the ball in the gaps from both sides. He also posted a very respectable 86-Exit Velocity. Defensively his 76-Catcher Velocity was impressive, but that combined with excellent feet helped him to post an impressive Pop Times between 1.94-2.08. Coleman probably had one of the most accurate arms at the event and it was again led by his footwork, getting the ball in & out of his glove with fluid compact actions. Coleman is very sound in what he does right now and has plenty of strength coming to his young frame.
