01/15/2021 - 2021 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-America Tournament (FL) Ethan is a solid/strong RHH backstop who puts his talents on display at the Pre-Season All-America Tournament. Offensively, this righty stands in with an athletic setup and fluid rhythm. He looks for a pitch to attacks, whips the barrel with + bat speed and engages his strong lower 1/2 well. He squares the ball up and creates extension through the zone. The ball explodes off of his bat - exit velocity = 91 mph. Behind the dish, he sits in with athletic/comfortable actions tracking pitches into a soft mitt. He sticks pitches, framing well. Lateral footwork is quick centering pitches in the dirt off of his chest. Transfer is smooth with throws right on the bag - pop times remaining in the low 2's. Barnitz is a skilled catcher who can swing it and will be a nice addition to a roster at the next level.
