12/01/2023 - Baseball Factory Academic All-American Tournament Joey is a lean, athletic 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 out front. Pop times showed in 2.20 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 continues to shine through an athletic setup. Hands are quick (81 mph exit velocity) 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. With 4 years to further develop, Joey has potential and will get looks from the collegiate coaches as he continues to progress his game.
