Tony Salvatelli is a 2023 C with a 5-10 167 lb. frame from Leominster, MA who attends Leominster. Medium, square shouldered frame with some present strength to frame, has room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran an 8.14 60-yard dash. Primary catcher, lower crouch behind the plate, receives the ball out front, works into a shorter arm action with a tight release, gains short ground with lower half and repeats, tends to stride open with lead foot. Fields the ball out front in the infield, stays back on the ball and can implement additional footwork into actions, longer arm action and works on top of throws well, shows accuracy across; developing actions in the outfield, fields out front with some bend at waist, utilizes a crow hop into release with a shorter arm action through the back. Righthanded hitter, begins with an open and narrow stance with a high hand set and lower back elbow at the plate; subtle load moving into contact with lower half. Patient approach at the plate, longer swing path through the zone, works to the middle and pull side parts of the field. Keeps hands inside the ball, can get additional extension out front, shows looseness and projects with additional strength, high finish through the point of contact. Excellent student.
