01/25/2015 - National Tryout - San Diego, CA This talented backstop continues to impress. Behind the dish, he sits in well with flexion and athletic actions. He is quick around pitches in the dirt, bodying the ball up and getting to his feet quickly. Transfer/exchange is quick as he gains ground toward 2B putting accurate throws on the bag. With the bat, John shows a balanced approach with rhythm to load. Barrel delivery is quick as he connects with strength. He hits the ball where it's pitched and sprays it with pop to all parts of the field. John has the tool set that will play at a high level.
