    Senior teammate Jeff Farnham also put up big numbers, hitting .371/.478/.612 with 13 home runs. The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder mainly plays behind the plate, but has some athleticism and is versatile defensively. He also spent time in the outfield and at second base and was second on the team with 18 stolen bases. He's a good catch-and-throw guy with 90 mph throws down to second and consistent 1.8-second pop times. At the plate, he has a patient approach and can catch up to fastballs over the plate, but an arm bar exposes him to velocity inside and has scouts questioning whether he'll hit as a pro.
