12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory East Coast Winter Classic (MS) Gavin is lean catcher who has a promising future on the diamond. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing pocket awareness sticking pitches. He uses his body through the blocking process, centering balls out front. Pop times showed in the 3.05 range with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss. At the plate, he shows an open setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable, has great attitude, and works hard to be the best player he can be. With 5 years to further develop, Gavin has potential with time and room to progress his game.
