2016 Catcher received the following feedback from a recent camp he attended. He is interested in playing at the next level. Understanding that this was fairly limited exposure but looking for feedback based on these comments...does he seem like a decent prospect based on this? He is mainly looking at D3 which I'm guessing is right on target? (he's young and just turning 17 at the end of November)
Top Arm Velocity: 81
Pop Times: 1.98, 2.01, 1.99
Exit Velocity of Tee: 72, 75, 79
Catching Notes: Continue to work target down, right now it's really high. Loosen up and get comfortable in setup. When throwing, transfer is a bit long, but it looks pretty quick. Arm strength looked good as well. Lastly work to get softer on your blocking, as it looked like you were being overly aggressive on the block, rather than being soft on the block.
Offensive Notes: Your swing path looked short and consistent to the ball. Work to develop extension through the ball after contact and also to connect lower body with upper body. Utilizing the lower half more will help increase bat whip through to zone, which will translate to higher exit speeds off bat. Successful hitters at this level have consistent exit velocity of 80+ mph, and the ones who see greater success are typically at 90+ mph.
