View Draft Report

School: Arizona Drafted/Committed: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.6

Guzman was a top 200 catcher coming out of high school in the 2022 class thanks to his 80-grade throwing arm behind the dish. He went undrafted and made it to campus at Boston College but transferred to Arizona in 2024. He hit .328/.411/.496 as Arizona’s everyday catcher in 2025. Now listed at 5-foot-11, 220 pounds, Guzman remains a glove-first catcher whose swing is often a bit stiff and pull-oriented, though he does have solid pullside power and the plate discipline you might expect of a catcher. His arm remains one of the best in class three years later with excellent carry on his throws that should help control the running game. He threw out 31% of basestealers in 2025.

Guzman has the best arm of any catcher in the country. It’s an 80-grade tool that he loves to show off by throwing behind runners, getting rid of the ball quickly to erase anyone straying too far off the bag. Guzman’s pop times are regularly between 1.75 to 1.9 seconds, with multiple throws where he has backhanded a breaking ball in the dirt for a pop time under 1.9 seconds. Guzman has a thicker build and will need to stay on top of his conditioning, but with soft hands, quick actions and good defensive instincts, Guzman has the elements to develop into a plus-plus defender who can shut down the running game. Offensively, there are more questions. He projects to hit toward the bottom of a lineup, with swing-and-miss risk. He loads up with a leg kick, wraps his bat in a swing with some length, showing mostly doubles power with occasional pull-side home runs, but he doesn’t project to be a big power threat. A team that either sees more offensive upside or that places a greater premium on elite catching defense could take him in the top five rounds. His arm strength also gives him a fallback option as a power reliever who could be throwing 100 mph one day.
