06/09/2024 - National Showcase - Long Island, NY AJ is a lean catcher who will graduate in 2032. Behind the plate, he shows a squared setup and tracks the ball well. He utilizes his body well through the blocking process but needs to work to get body down sooner. Pop times showed in the 3.20 range with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows as a switch hitter with similar abilities from both sides. Hands are loose and work through an aggressive swing path. He makes consistent contact through a line drive approach with power showing best to the pull side. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. With 8 years to further develop, AJ has potential with time and room to progress his game.
