Lawrence is a strong 5-11, 185 lb senior catcher from Texas with a mature build and good present strength. He's a very good defensive catcher across the board. Lawrence works very hard at his blocking and has good quickness and lateral movement behind the plate. He showed a powerful arm in drills at 77 mph and a best pop time of 2.03. During games when it counted, Lawrence was still strong and quick, throwing out one runner at 2.20. Probably the one part of his defensive game that needed work was in receiving the ball. Offensively, Lawrence has the strength to create good bat speed and will flash some power on the right pitch. He had balance issues in his current approach pulling off the ball that limited his ability to consistently show his hitting tools. He has the tools to be a good hittiing catcher and his defensive ability can carry him for the time being.

Jason Lawrence is a 2006 catcher from Trophy Club, Texas, with very good present strength for his age, and a collection of tools and skills that project well to the college level. It’s evident that Lawrence is on a good weight program by looking at him and this comes through best when watching him swing. Lawrence has a short hand load and no stride at all, and has a quick, powerful swing with some lift in it. There’s definitely some juice in Lawrence’s bat and he could improve even more with some lower half involvement. Lawrence’s pop times are a good lesson for young catcher’s going to showcases. It looked like he pressed during the workouts and his best time was 2.16, although he showed good raw arm strength. His first throw in a game was 2.03 to nail a runner; he was undoubtedly more relaxed and just doing what came naturally. Lawrence is a good athlete who is light on his feet and runs well. College coaches should definitely follow up on him.
