  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Average frame with minimal remaining projection. Could stand to get stronger.

Hit: Starts square with his hands high. Quiet load. Fringy bat speed. Solid approach and contact skills.

Power: Average raw power at best. In-game power plays below that. Can punish a mistake pitch, but needs to hit the ball harder more consistently.

Run: Below-average speed. Not a major part of his game.

Field: Strong defensive profile. Solid-average receiver and knows how to call a game. Type of catcher pitchers like throwing to and has caught major league-quality arms throughout his college career.

Arm: Solid-average arm strength.		   Career Notes: Started his college career at Texas Tech and spent two years there, before transferring to Arkansas for the 2024 season. Played for Chatham in the Cape Cod League during the summer of 2023. Named to the Fayetteville Regional All-Tournament Team in 2024.

Summation: Defense-first catcher whose upside is dependent on how his bat develops. High floor due to his overall defensive profile. Knows how to handle a pitching staff and profiles as the type of catcher teams want in their systems to help pitchers develop as well. Has shown solid contact skills at the plate, but needs to hit the ball harder and more consistently to reach his potential.

Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
