01/15/2016 - Baseball Factory National Spring Training at Pirate City Anthony is a strong 2-way player (C/3B) who is a very hard worker. He is coachable and give his all day in and day out. Behind the plate, he sits in well and tracks pitches into a soft mitt. He works hard laterally and bodies up pitches in the dirt. Exchange is clean with throws down to 2B on the bag - pop times at 2.45. Continuing to develop his arm strength (long toss) will help to lower pop times. Skills behind the plate will continue to improve as he quickens his footwork and lateral movements. Offensively, this righty has raw power. He stands steps into the box with a purpose and takes an aggressive hack. He hits the ball where it's pitched and sprays it to all parts of the field. Continuing to develop his rhythm/timing will help to increase contact consistency and take his offensive skills to the next level. Anthony has the makeup of a player who with a few adjustments, will find success on the diamond. A 2018 grad - he still has time to polish his skills.
