Primary catcher that displays quick feet and transfers to throw, gains ground and shows soft hands behind the plate. Short arm circle that can find extension through release keeping the ball on line and accurate to second. Plays through the ball in the infield with a quick release and builds momentum to throw. Shows accuracy across the diamond with better range to his glove side. Hits from an upright and narrow base that is slightly open. Uses very slight weight transfer into contact and flashes bat speed with a pull side approach that opens early. Also pitches, with a short arm action that works the top half of the zone. Changed speeds and mixed pitches well, missed barrels. Fastball sat in the middle 60's, topping at 68 mph. Curveball shows more top to bottom 12/6 shape with down action through the zone. Good student.
