Physical Description: Average height. Well built, muscular yet athletic frame with thick, powerful legs and arms. Large hands and forearms. Ample hip, chest, stronger back, backside.
Hit: Back leg bent more than front, hands held flat and low across back shoulder. Stance upright, forward focused. Timing skills consistent and hand-to-ball quickness more than adequate. Follow through created by hip turn is smooth, strong, straight. Plate coverage adequate, prefers inside. Not rushed or intimidated at plate. Will walk. Line drive hitter to all fields. Grade: 45
Power: Strong enough to reach fences with ease. Base built for power, swing built for singles and long doubles. Reasonable to expect 15-18 HR/25+ Doubles. More of a run producer w/ good eye than HR hitter. Grade: 40
Field: Element of his game that shines with consistency. Excellent backstop and hands. Quick, purposeful pop-ups. Very very strong throwing arm. Low, accurate, glove-side throws with consistency. Called and framed at a high level. Loud communicator. Leadership skills. Grade: 55
Arm: Strong, accurate to the base consistently. Gets legs and lower body behind ball efficiently. Little wasted motion in rise. Overhand and low from a consistent release point. Note: GCL offenses stole at will against most catchers on most teams; he nailed 6-14 runners. Grade: 55
Run: Quick to pivot into run out of the box. Average acceleration, short strider. High effort runner who tires quickly. SB totals expected to be low single digits. Grade: 40
Overall: High-effort and focused between the lines. Leader at the plate, in the dugout. Passionate about the game, serious about winning. Attitude player with on-base skills, power and burgeoning strike-zone skills. Body built for playing catcher and athleticism sneaky at 225lbs. Makes pitchers and lineups that much better. Lower level gem for a rebuilding system.
