04/28/2024 - National Showcase - Rosemont (Chicago), IL Gavin is a tall, solid catcher who is a prospect on the diamond. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. He uses his body through the blocking process, centering balls well out front. Receiving / blocking skills show as quality tools that will play well at the next level. Pop times showed in 2.40 range with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, hitting / power potential are outstanding through a crouched setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with power showing best to the pull side. Lower half works well through the swing as he transfers weight into a firm front side. With 3 years to further develop, Gavin has potential and will get looks from the collegiate coaches with his baseball abilities as he continues to progress his game.
