Sturdy bodied backstop, Oliphant is a well-schooled receiver with soft yet strong hands. He maintains instincts for the position and is quick on block and recovery. He throws from a high ¾ slot with a quick exchange and is on target with consistent 2.0 pop times in the tag zone. He relies on strength over bat speed with a natural loft to a swing with manageable length, driving the ball well to the opposite field gap during batting practice. He maintains a middle of the field approach but can show sneaky pull-side power. With a touch of arm strength gains, Oliphant will be poised to be an everyday receiver at the next level.
