AJ Gaca is a 2022 C/1B with a 5-11 200 lb. frame from West Chicago, IL who attends St. Charles East. Medium height with a strong and barrel chested frame and uses the strength well in games. Ran a 7.56 in the sixty yard dash. A primary catcher who also worked out at first base. Behind the plate he repeats his footwork, with small movements and quickness to the operation. The exchange and release are fast and he was very accurate to the bases. The arm strength is coming and the overall package is advanced. At first base he has good hands, positions himself well and shows a short arm stroke and accurate arm. A right-handed hitter, stays balanced with his base through out his on plane swing. Powerful stroke and torques his core hard with good separation. Gets extension out front with obvious strength at contact. A secondary pitcher, uses a short arm stroke and stays on line with his stride. Solid control on the fastball and curveball, competes in all phases of the game. Excellent student.
