01/10/2010 - College PREP - Hightstown, NJ Joey is a young, strong Catcher with athletic actions. He has a good transfer from glove to hand and a strong / accurate arm. Joey has a good set-up behind the plate and holds a low target. He is quiet with good flexion receiving. Joey takes good angles, deadens the ball, and covers the "5" hole when blocking. Added arm strength and a quicker arm action will only improve Joey's skills defensively. At the plate, Joey has good balance and bat speed. He has a good set up, tracks the ball well, and sprays the ball to all fields. Joey has good barrel accuracy and use of his lower 1/2. If he can avoid having his hips fly open, and lower his elbow, his abilities at the plate can get even better. PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS: MEMBER OF THE NEW JERSEY SUPER 17; STARTED THE KEYSTONE STATE SENIOR GAMES AS A SOPHOMORE; MADE THE VARSITY TEAM AS A SOPHOMORE; STARTED AT CATCHING POSITION IN SENIOR LEGION ALL-STAR GAME AS A SOPHOMORE.
