08/05/2010 - Vero Beach Pro Select Training and Competition - 2010 Rhett is a young (2014) catcher with a compact, strong frame that is well suited for his position. Feet are clean, working in line to his target showing proper direction through the throwing process. Transfer / exchange is consistent but needs to work on speeding up to get rid of ball quicker. Pop times show a range of 2.40-2.53 as he will benefit by getting on a long toss program to further develop more arm strength, lowering pop times. Receiving and blocking skills are currently below average, needing further development to be quality tools at the next level. Offensively, Howard shows a balanced approach with hands working short to the ball. Stance starts and stays open as he needs to square up. He makes consistent contact as he was 4 for 6 at the event. Power numbers will increase as he learns to utilize lower half more efficiently through the swing. With 4 years to further develop, Rhett has abilities with time and room to improve.
