Kevin Perez '14 Recruiting Profile

I am a well-rounded catcher that can handle my job behind the plate very well. I am a very active and vocal player. I love throwing down to bases while runners are on whether they are on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. Defense to me is the most important thing I take so much pride in my skills defensively especially being a catcher I feel like it all starts with me, whether that is calling the pitch, making the play, getting the runner out, or controlling my pitcher.

Hitting wise I am a very good two strike approach guy, I will always have an approach when going up to hit and each at bat the approach for me will be different. Many guys just go up to the plate and swing, personally I try to look for a pitch I can drive or take to right field. The majority of my at bats I try to go up the middle or opposite field so I can always keep my eyes on the ball. I trust my hands enough to know if a guy tries to throw me inside that I will turn on the pitch naturally.
