01/13/2012 - 2012 Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament This week in Arizona, Austin displayed the ability to have sure hands and a quick release behind the plate. He does well keeping the ball very close and in front when blocking. His defensive abilities should continue to develop as he learns to gain ground to his target and stay on top of his throws. At the plate, he has good rhythm and a strong lower half with excellent hands. His offensive tools should continue to improve as he learns to work downhill to contact. Austin is a young talent with a strong frame and should continue to excel as a baseball player.
