| Summary: Borcherding brings a calm, contact-first look in the box, built on a simple operation from the right side that stays quiet through launch and allows the barrel to work cleanly to all fields. He rarely chases, handles velocity with 90+ EVs already showing up in games, and his no-stride approach pairs well with his ability to shift weight efficiently through his lower half. Youth and a lean frame leave plenty of room for strength gains, and the bat speed suggests future gap power as he matures. Behind the plate, he’s an athletic mover with a clean catch-and-throw operation and a solid arm from the crouch. His receiving is quiet, transfers are quick, and he shows the agility to steal strikes and block with ease. Young for the class with a foundation of bat-to-ball skill and defensive aptitude, Borcherding projects as a well-rounded catching prospect whose tools should rise as the body fills out. | |||||||||||
