Gabriel Wyatt C

08/26/2018 - College PREP - Nashville, TN Gabriel is a solid, athletic catcher who will graduate in 2019. Foot speed is above average as indicated by his 60 time of 7.25. Behind the dish, he utilizes his feet well in working in line to his target through a clean transfer / exchange as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. Pop times show a range of 2.12-2.22 with accuracy on his throws. Time will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. He displays a soft glove and sticks balls well in the zone. He uses his body through the blocking process but needs to get down sooner. At the plate, he continues to shine through an open setup. Hands are quick (81 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He has strength in his swing and makes consistent hard contact with power showing best to the pull side. Power will continue to increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. Gabriel has potential with a lot of room to continue to progress his game.
