07/16/2022 - Baseball Factory National World Series at IMG Academy- Session 1 (HS) Joshua is a smart and polished catcher in the 2024 class. Scouts described him as having a high motor, plays with energy, leader and engaged type player. Behind the plate, he is athletic and a quiet receiver. Maintains the strike zone and pitchers trust him behind the plate. Gains ground with his right foot on throws and is accurate to the bag. Can get the ball in the air quickly (2.03 pop/80 velo)). Advanced blocker and uses sacrifice his body to stop free 90’s. At the plate, he is an oppo type hitter and stays inside the baseball well. Begins with a tall stance with comfortable hands. Has a controlled stride and his swing is on-plane. Has great barrel feel and with more lower half engagement, he will generate more power production. Overall, Joshua is a solid prospect and will get looks for the next level.
