01/13/2023 - 2023 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-America Tournament Bruce is an athletic catcher who is a prospect on the diamond. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. He uses his body through the blocking process, centering balls well out front. Receiving / blockings skills show as outstanding tools that will play well. Pop times showed in 1.97 range with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he continues to shine, displaying excellent hitting / power potential through an athletic setup. Hands are quick (91 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with gap-to-gap pop. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. Bruce has a high skill set and will get looks from the collegiate coaches as he continues to progress his game.
