Comments |
Hitting ability: | Myers has the tools to hit --
bat speed and hand strength -- but needs to rework his mechanics. He doesn't cover the outer side of the plate
well. |
Power: | He shows plus raw power now and could be
plus in the future, but it remains to be seen if it will translate. |
Running speed: | A good athlete, he's got
above-average speed, especially for a catcher. |
Base running: | Knows what he's doing on the
basepaths, with good instincts. |
Arm strength: | Has a very strong arm and can
throw from his knees to any base. |
Fielding: | He's played a number of positions and
hasn't caught a whole lot, but he has the chance to be an above-average catcher. |
Range: | Shifts well and blocks balls in the dirt
well. |
Physical Description: | Myers is a very strong,
athletic and versatile player who has a Curtis Thigpen-type body. |
Medical Update: | Healthy. |
Strengths: | Good athleticism. Tools to hit for
power and tools to be a good defensive catcher. |
Weaknesses: | Swing is a work in progress and
needs some overhauling. He hasn't caught much, so it's been hard to assess his skills there. |
Summary: | Myers is a very intriguing high school
athlete with tools aplenty. His swing needs some work, but he's got the bat speed and strength to hit and hit for
power in the future. He's played all over the field and has shown the versatility to handle it. He may deliver the
most value from behind the plate, where his above-average arm and agility would play well. He hasn't played that
much behind the dish, making it a little difficult to assess his skills there. The team that thinks he can handle
the tools of ignorance might be the one to take him early. |
