Michael Szostek is a 2027 C with a compact 5-foot-7, 160-pound frame and a sound, fundamental defensive profile behind the plate. A steady receiver with clean glove-to-hand actions, Szostek posted pop times in the 2.26–2.37 range with a short arm stroke that produced 71 mph out of the crouch. Offensively, the right-handed hitter works from an even stance with an aggressive, forward move and upward path, generating consistent barrel contact. He recorded a max exit velocity of 87 mph with an impressive 84.0 mph average, and 317’ max distance.
