Joey Spence is a 2021 C/3B with a 5-9 180 lb. frame from West Bend, WI who attends West Bend East HS. Medium frame with a lean build. Frame projects to support additional size and strength. Primary catcher with a low, athletic stance while receiving the baseball. Gains ground well while utilizing quick, fluid footwork. Works through exchange quickly as well while releasing from a compact three-quarters slot. Baseball came out of hand quickly topping at 73 miles per hour. Left handed hitter with a slightly crouched, slightly open stance. Utilized a simple front side trigger while working to contact with rotational lower half actions. Inside hand path to baseball with a clean, line drive barrel plane through extension. Stayed balanced throughout and primarily looked to drive the baseball to the middle of the field. Flashed some jump off the barrel when squaring baseball out front. Good student. Named to the 2018 Pitcher/Catcher Showcase, Top Prospect List.
