1/26/13 Catchmark was impressive in all facets of the game. He showed a strong arm with good carry across the infield at 77 mph. He also displayed athletic actions and soft hands with good range. Catchmark had a very solid 85 mph bat exit velocity that he put to good used during one of the top rounds of batting practice on the day. He showcased a short stroke and good lower half actions that allowed for consistent squaring of the baseball to all fields. On the mound, the right-hander commanded three pitches from a high 3/4 arm slot. His fastball sat 80-82 with arm side run. Catchmark shows his numerals to the hitter that adds to the amount of movement he gets on his fastball as well as his 70 mph changeup.
