LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Sunshine West Showcase
Jonny Ray Talley is a 2007 catcher/first baseman from Carlsbad HS in Oceanside, CA, with a 6'3", 220 lb. frame, and was named to the Top Prospect Team. He has a big body with some upside to be even more physical. He has big hands and feet. Defensively he handles himself well around the bag at first and shows enough athletic ability to stay behind the plate. He has good arm strength with online throws and good accuracy. Improved foot speed would help him control the running game and round out his defense behind the plate. There aren't many left handed hitting catchers out there and he shows a very good idea at the plate. He has strength in his swing with good bat speed and the ability to use all fields. Talley stands out form the rest and should be a middle of the order bat that can make an impact at the next level with his bat alone. He has very good upside and with some work can make an impression on the game with his bat and glove behind the plate. He is a must follow.
