LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 South Top Prospect Showcase
Lawrence is a strong 5-11, 185 lb senior catcher from Texas with a mature build and good present strength. He's a very good defensive catcher across the board. Lawrence works very hard at his blocking and has good quickness and lateral movement behind the plate. He showed a powerful arm in drills at 77 mph and a best pop time of 2.03. During games when it counted, Lawrence was still strong and quick, throwing out one runner at 2.20. Probably the one part of his defensive game that needed work was in receiving the ball. Offensively, Lawrence has the strength to create good bat speed and will flash some power on the right pitch. He had balance issues in his current approach pulling off the ball that limited his ability to consistently show his hitting tools. He has the tools to be a good hittiing catcher and his defensive ability can carry him for the time being.
