09/10/2017 - College PREP - Fresno, CA Alex is a strong, athletic catcher who will graduate in 2018. Behind the plate, defensive skills are solid. He blocks and receives well, feet are active, and hands are soft. Alex moves well laterally, blocks well side to side, and stays down with a soft chest. He has a clean exchange, short arm action, and throws with accuracy to 2nd base. A quicker transition, gaining more ground when throwing, and added arm strength will help abilities behind the dish improve. Offensively, Alex has a square set-up, proper load, and he makes consistent contact. He has a line drive approach and can spray to all fields. A shorter swing, more lower body, and better timing can help hitting get better.
