Behind the plate, feet are active as he works in line through a clean transfer / exchange as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. Pop times have improved as he threw his lowest at 2.20 with accuracy and zip (80 mph velocity) on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he continues to build more arm strength through a long toss program. He shows a squared setup and receives the ball well. He utilizes his body well through the blocking process but needs to get down sooner to improve grade. At the plate, he shows a squared setup.
