Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: C/RHP Catcher with good build to add more strength. Moves well. Opportunities for adjustments present with hip approach to increase contact consistency and impact. Solid receiver. Switch hitting catcher with chance power exceeds. RHS…solid deliver and arm action with arm speed present. Around zone with stuff in bullpen setting. FB shows nice velo now, expect will continue to add in future. Shows feel to spin baseball, creating action with both slider and CB. Change is developing. Impressive on mound. Will continue to get better. Starter with 4 pitch mix
Body: 6-2, 229-pounds. Solid build with good frame/build to add increase strength.
Delivery: Side step rocker, loads into back leg. Works well down the slope, solid finish.
Arm Action: RH. Full circle, works well with arm speed present. Good finish out front.
FB: T91, 90-91 mph. Carry to FB present along with some arm side tail/sink. Strike thrower. Developing ability to work both up/down with FB. T2378, 2337 average rpm.
CB: 75-76 mph. Solid spin present, shows solid action present. Good pitch. T2557, 2519 average rpm.
SL: 80-83 mph. Spin present with good finish. Action late at times. Quality pitch. T2629, 2608 average rpm.
CH: 83-84 mph. Fair deception with tail/sink action. T2069, 1999 average rpm.
ATH: 7.16 runner in the 60. Decent start, gets upright when running, would like to head/shoulders with lean forward for entire 60. Runs well for big/strong frame. Can increase run time slightly in future.

Will continue to get better. Starter with 4 pitch mix
Body: 6-2, 229-pounds. Solid build with good frame/build to add increase strength.
Hit: SH. Open stance, knee lift stride, lands in good position to hit. Rotational back foot, hits with firm front side, body leans back at point of contact. Work to drive back hip forward with rotation of back foot, develop ability to hit with more upright posture at point of contact. These adjustments will result in increased ability to impact baseball. Similar for both sides of plate with approach. LHH…Barrel/hands start in good launch position. Swing works, takes nice path to zone with both hands and barrel. Uphill swing path present due to body leans back at contact point. With body adjustment, will get on plane creating more line drive contact with ability to learn how to lift pitches in future. RHH…barrel starts slightly wrapped creating length to swing, otherwise similar swing dynamics. 68 mph bat speed with 11 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 100 max exit velocity, averaged 81.4 mph. 307' max distance. Project solid/bat power combo in future. Opportunities present for adjustments to increase ability to impact baseball and create/promote line drive contact. Applies to both sides of plate.
Arm: RH. C-84 mph. Arm works, shows some arm quickness/arm speed. Tended to pull throws to SS side of bag. Front shoulder opens early causing pull. Misses to arm side are caused by arm being late on occasion with some lead shoulder opening early.
Defense: 1.93-2.01 pop times. Receives well with glove. Solid foot work setting to throw. Nice job of handling pens with hands.
ATH: 7.16 runner in the 60. Decent start, gets upright when running, would like to head/shoulders with lean forward for entire 60. Runs well for big/strong frame. Can increase run time slightly in future.
