11/08/2024 - Baseball Factory West Coast Fall Training (MS) Connor is a dedicated catcher and right-handed pitcher from Corvallis, Montana, who made notable improvements at the Baseball Factory West Coast Fall Training in Arizona. Behind the plate, he presents a solid target and tracks pitches well, demonstrating good awareness. He shows strong fundamentals when throwing to second base, replacing his feet efficiently and using a high three-quarter arm slot, with arm velocity reaching up to 61 miles per hour. However, he will need to focus on improving his footwork and lateral quickness when blocking to become even more effective defensively. On the mound, Connor throws from the stretch with consistent timing, displaying smooth, loose arm action. He attacks hitters with a fastball but will need to develop a second pitch as he progresses. At the plate, Connor starts in an upright and open stance with comfortable hands and a short stride, maintaining a good barrel path. To take his hitting to the next level, he needs to work on better transferring his weight at contact. Overall, Connor’s natural strength, strong work ethic, and ability to listen and learn make him a promising player. He plays the game the right way, and with continued effort, he has the potential to keep improving and excel in all areas of his game.
