+ '26 C Lincoln Kruer (Providence) is a hard-nosed So. Indiana backstop that continues to show growth. The 5-foot-9, 175 pounder showed offensive improvements with a more-athletic, more-rhythmic operation than I've seen of him previously, reaching a peak exit of 93-plus while spraying line drives from gap-to-gap. Defensively, he hangs his hat on a high-motor behing the dish with solid receiving skills. He showed an average arm from the crouch with a quicker transfer and pops into the 2.1's.
