Physical Description:
Strong, compact build. Above-average athleticism for catcher.
Hit:
Starts slightly open and utilizes a leg kick. Has some bat
speed. Front side has a tendency to bail early as he cheats to
try and get around on fastballs. Fluid swing, has shown the
ability to use all fields. Struggles recognizing breaking balls
and has shown a tendency to expand the zone against them.
Power:
Average power. 10-15 home run potential.
Run:
Below-average runner, will not be a part of his game.
Field:
Defense is a work in progress.
Receiving skills are raw. Struggles blocking balls in the dirt.
Arm:
Average arm strength. |
|
Career Notes:
Led high school squad to a district championship in 2016, was
named league MVP. Started three seasons for Kansas.
Older
brother of Jordan Groshans, who was drafted first round in 2018 by
Toronto. Signed for exactly slot value right after the 2019 draft.
Participated in Fall Instructional League in 2019.
Summation:
Will rely heavily on his bat. Defense has a long way to go. Could
devleop into a bat-first backstop with significant further
development.
