01/13/2017 - Baseball Factory All-America Pre-Season Rookie Tournament Koa is a talented young C/SS prospect with a high baseball IQ. As a catcher, Koa works behind the ball when receiving, works the outside part of the ball, and has a quiet receiving stance. He shows a clean exchange and quick release on his throws down to second base. At the plate, Koa is a patient hitter who sets up in an athletic stance and takes a square stride to the ball. He comes through the zone with his lower half and takes a direct swing path which leads to consistent contact through the middle of the field. Koa will continue to improve with experience and hard work.
