12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory West Coast Winter Classic (MS) Callen is a 2029 catcher from Oregon who worked diligently to hone his skills at the Baseball Factory West Coast Middle School Holiday Camp. Behind the plate, he displays good body language and stays engaged with quiet actions. He tracks the ball well, works with his thumb under, and makes accurate throws, with a best pop time of 2.7 seconds. Callen also does a solid job of centering the ball when blocking and is quick to get down. However, he needs to focus on improving his overall quickness behind the plate. At the plate, he generates a strong lower half turn and has good bat-to-ball skills, demonstrating solid strike zone awareness. During the games, Callen made consistent contact and drew four walks. He is a hard worker with a strong aptitude for learning and a desire to improve.
