12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory Holiday Classic at Pirate City Anthony is a talented catcher from Illinois in the 2026 class who has put in significant work to refine his skills at the Baseball Factory Pirate City camp. Behind the plate, he excels in his ability to replace his feet quickly on throws to second, generating momentum and delivering accurate throws with a best pop time of 2.1 seconds. He demonstrates strong fundamentals in blocking, maintaining a good spine angle and tucking his chin for proper technique. As a right-handed hitter, Anthony engages his hips effectively in his swing, producing a flat barrel path and hitting line drives to the pull side. During live game action, he showed excellent plate discipline, drawing three walks and recording two singles. While he will benefit from focusing on keeping his head on the ball, Anthony’s continued growth and development will only enhance his abilities. With another year of hard work, he has the potential to elevate his game even further.
