06/13/2024 - National Showcase - Trenton, NJ Justin is an athletic catcher who has a promising future 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 well out front. Receiving/blocking skills show as outstanding tools that will play well. Pop times showed in 2.20 range. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he continues to shine, displaying well above average hitting abilities with solid power potential through a squared setup. Hands are quick (84 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with gap-to-gap pop. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. With 2 years to further develop, Justin is a talented prospect and will get looks from collegiate coaches with his baseball abilities.
