12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory Holiday Classic at Pirate City Clayton is a catcher from Harrisville, WV, who will graduate in 2025 and worked on his skills at the Baseball Factory Pirate City Holiday Camp. With a tall frame and stout build, he has an easy sit behind the plate and presents a low target, creating momentum on his throws. His throws have good carry, with an arm velocity up to 81 mph. Clayton shows on-time blocking footwork, centers the ball well, and has a soft chest. At the plate, he demonstrates comfortable hands, good separation, and a smooth swing that generates solid contact. During live game action, he reached base two times, recording a single and a walk. Defensively he threw out two baserunners. Another season of growth and development will help him continue to improve in all phases of his game.
