| Summary: The offensive tools are what drive the evaluation and they are genuinely advanced for a 2028 catching prospect. A low leg hang load with quiet hands that turn over with authority generate real power from a physical frame, and the blend of patience and aggression at the plate gives the hit tool a sophistication that most college catchers don’t develop until much later. The power projection is the ceiling driver — the raw strength is already present and the approach gives it a platform to show up in games consistently as the collegiate career builds at Cincinnati. Defensively, quiet hands in receiving and above-average pop times in limited looks give the catching future a legitimate foundation. The physical frame limits mobility at times and framing low pitches has been identified as a developmental emphasis — the athleticism and footwork will be tested as competition improves and baserunners get faster. The arm is above-average and gives him a tool to work with behind the dish, and the overall physical profile gives the catching path a realistic chance to hold if the defensive development keeps pace with the offensive production. The hands being busy and tending to get late in the swing is a mechanical note from earlier looks that will need to be cleaned up as the level of pitching rises. If the defensive development holds and the bat continues to produce, Infelise has the ingredients of one of the more well-rounded catching prospects in the class — the power alone gives the profile a high ceiling that makes the evaluation worth following closely as the frame and skill set continue to develop. | |||||||||||
