Joshua Cale is a 2013-(6'1/165lbs.) catcher who attends Wilson Memorial HS in Fishersville, VA. Cale posted 5.15 forty time and a 4.5 home to first base time. Behind the plate he showed 72mph arm velocity and a 2.08 best pop time. Cale has good actions behind the plate with quick transfers and very good directional footwork. Cale stays low in his stance as he moves out of his catching position and shows very nice forward acceleration towards his target. His throws shows good carry at the bag and has nice accuracy. Overall he shows well above average catching tools for his peer group. Cale has a nice frame and should add strength with natural maturation. Hitting from the right hand side he shows above average bat speed for his age and stays balanced throughout his swing. Cal hits from a medium stance with knee lift loading action and shows ability to hit the ball deep in the strike zone. We see more power in the lower half with mor efficient rotation during the swing. Cale has a short bat path and line drive swing plane with very nice extension after contact. Hitting looks to be a developing skill with nice upside. Cale registered a 78mph exit velocity on the radar tee. Nice tools for a 2013 player with college projection. 4 star rated player.
