01/17/2022 - Official College Recruiting Membership - San Antonio, TX Austin is a young catcher who will graduate in 2023. Behind the plate, Austin has active feet, a presentable glove, and he covers ground well. He tracks to his glove, tries hard to keep the ball in front when blocking, and throws with a long/accurate arm to 2nd base. Pop times were as low as 2.2 seconds. Continued work on mechanics, gaining more ground, and working to shorten arm slot will help catching improve. Offensively, Austin has an open/couched stance, he loads his hands back well, and shows fast bat speed. He has quick hands, a direct/consistent barrel, and good bat whip. If Austin can work on rhythm/timing, and use more lower body, hitting numbers can spike.
