    Matt Morizio has solid catch-and-throw skills, intelligence and leadership ability that could make him a useful minor league catcher, though his bat is suspect. He has a lefthanded, line-drive stroke and can hit balls to the gaps but lacks home run power and figures to struggle against more advanced pitching. He also worked 19 innings as Northeastern's closer, topping out at 92 mph with his fastball. He also throws a downer curveball, but he has a high-effort delivery and limited experience, and he profiles better as a catcher.
