10/05/2022 - Arizona Sophomore Fall Classic (2025) Joshua is an athletic C in the 2025 class. Behind the plate, scouts were impressed with his actions and ability to call a game. His feet are quick and receives strikes inside his body. Has strong pocket feel and catch to release is quick. Uses short arm action and an over-the-top release. Throws to 2B are accurate and on a line (2.40). Working to sink his hips more in his primary stance will help him keep his thumb under the low pitch. Moved well and recovered nicely on dirt balls. In the batters box, he has advanced strike zone knowledge by reached base 5 out of ten plate appearances (2 hits 3 BB’s). Gets into his load well and has smooth rhythm. Stays inside his feet well and uses the middle of the field. Working to get his front foot down sooner will allow for more backside power through the baseball. Joshua is also a gifted athlete who can also play the infield. Overall, he is a must follow in the 2025 class.
