LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2003 Northeast Top Prospect Showcase
Kaplin is an "04" Catcher who can receive and hit. At 6'2/190 he looks the part. He showed good arm strength, soft hands, and quickness behind the plate. He's a nice target and moves well to block balls in the dirt. He's a very good receiver. At the plate he showed a rotational cross body swing. It looked a little unusual because he creates outstanding bat speed this way. He has a strong fast swing and some big time power potential with wood. If he opened up his hips a bit better it's hard telling what he might do to a baseball. In any case, he's very good and has a good future at the next level. Now here's the most amazing thing about Alex. He has a 4.0 GPA and a unbelievable 1570 SAT. Congratulations and WOW!!!!
