09/27/2014 - 2014 Under Armour Showcase: Futures West Eric is a very interesting young catching prospect who is a solid player across the board. Offensively, he has a clean, short stroke that is efficient and effective. He is excellent through contact, keeps the bat in the hitting zone for a long time and has a very good bat path. Add it all up and Eric can flat out hit. He has very few holes for a young hitter, showing the ability to hit line drives with carry from RCF around to the LF line. As a defender Eric is a natural receiver with great instincts on balls in the dirt. He reads and reacts very well helping his pitchers on a consistent basis. He possesses an accurate arm that can produce times to 2B at 2.1. Finding guys that can stay behind the dish at the next level and swing the bat with authority is a hard thing to do. Eric is one of those guys.
