+ Another young left-handed hitting catcher to note from the day is Hunter Lockefeer (St. Viator, 2028). He took a polished round of BP while boasting a smooth and balanced swing, showing little perceived effort to deliver the barrel through the zone and create a max EV of 93 mph (T362’), showing some ability to manipulate the barrel at times. He took his defense both as a catcher and from the outfield; starting behind the plate, Lockefeer was a confident receiver of the baseball, working to present pitches around the zone for strikes with soft hands. He works in-line down to second on his throws, staying in his legs while working with a clean transfer, 2.19 pop-time. In the outfield, he showed athletic and clean footwork, moving well to both sides of his glove and reaching up to 82 mph from a crowhop.
