Prep catchers are always highly sought after early in the MLB draft, and as per usual this year’s class has a few first round hopefuls. Among them is Anthony Seigler, backstop for Cartersville in Georgia, who brings a very well-rounded game to the table. Seigler has played multiple positions as a prep player, and could likely handle OF duties with his solid speed and arm. His defensive home is not in doubt, however, as he already shows outstanding potential behind the dish. His 1.78 pop time is elite for any player, never mind an 18 year old prep catcher.
