01/15/2010 - Under Armour Pre-Season All-America - 2010 Richard is a solid Catcher that continues to show sound baseball skills. He participated in the UA Preseason All-America and showed well. Richard has a compact, low center of gravity, and is a grinder type player. He handles the pitchers well behind the plate and blocks / receives well with strong hands. Catching grades can get even better with a shorter arm action and better reactions to balls outside his body. Richard has a good base, balance, and bat speed. He stays inside the baseball, uses all fields, and gets good lower 1/2 rotation. Richard's front side is strong, and with a little shorter stroke and quicker bat, offensive numbers could get even better.
