12/07/2008 - College PREP - McCook, IL Joseph is an athletic catcher with above average tools. He has a strong arm and a pretty good exchange. Would like to see him improve rhythm in throwing mechanics and stay closed. Good low target and flex on the catch, but too much glove movement. Gains ground and takes good angles on the block. A few holes that still need to be covered, but in general, he has a good idea behind the plate. At the plate, he is quiet and square with a level plane and average batspeed. His swing is long and he has an inside out approach. Would like to see him shorten up. Strong, but can improve conditioning and footspeed. Has the chance to be a solid guy behind the plate at the next level.
