12/27/2012 - Pirate City Christmas Camp and Tournament Nate is a young catcher with a thin frame. Behind the plate, Nate has playable hands and feet, and his approach is balanced. He has a good set-up and he blocks the ball well. Nate has a clean exchange, a short arm action, and he throws with some accuracy to his target. A softer glove, quicker feet, and added arm strength will improve catching skills. At the plate, Nate has an open set-up, a short stride, and average bat speed. He swings aggressively and hits hard to the pull side. Better timing, a shorter swing, and improved barrel accuracy will spike hitting.
