07/15/2010 - Cape Cod Training 2010 - Session 2 John is a young (2013) two-way player as a catcher plus on the mound with a big, strong frame that shows projection as he continues to polish, firming up. He shows an aggressive approach to the game with a lot of energy. Feet are active in working in line as he shows accuracy on his throws with pop times showing a range of 2.46-3.06. He will benefit by getting on a long toss program to lower pop times. This past January, his times were 3.20-3.50, so he showed a lot of improvement in this area. Receiving and blocking skills show potential but need further development to be quality tools at the next level. Offensively, Griffiths shows a level swing path through a patient approach as he will not chase balls out of the zone. He needs to continue to work on getting better balance throughout the swing and not getting caught on his heels. Shortening his swing and continuing to load his hands are other areas he needs to work on. On the mound, fastball shows a range of 63-68 mph. With 3 years to further develop, John has abilities with time and room to improve.
