01/13/2023 - 2023 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-America Tournament Iyad is an athletic catcher out of Stoney Creek, Ontario who has a promising future on the diamond. At the plate, he displays outstanding hitting/power potential through an athletic setup. Hands are quick (85 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. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. He uses his body through the blocking process but needs to work to get body down sooner. Pop times showed in 2.16 range with carry (88 mph velocity) on his throws. Iyad has a lot of potential and will get looks from collegiate coaches as he continues to progress his game.
