07/20/2020 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Stockton (Sacramento), CA Griffin is a talented catching prospect who continues to progress. Behind the dish, he sits in with flexion and athletic actions tracking pitches into a soft mitt. He is quick laterally to center/deaden pitches in the dirt off of his chest, keeping the ball close in front. Throws to 2B are on the bag coming from a quick/clean transfer exchange - pop times remain in the low 2's. As a hitter, he shows a balanced stance with active/loose hands. He fires the barrel with + bat speed, connects and sprays the ball to all parts of the park. DeRusso is a skilled catcher who is one to keep an eye on over the next couple of years. He will make an impact in this only his sophomore year.
