School: Wake Forest Source: 4YR
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Age At Draft: 21.2 Lee had a phenomenal debut in college baseball back in 2021 with Tulane, when he hit .440/.527/.600 with four home runs and six doubles. He’s not replicated that offensive production since, but he has proven to be a reliable defensive catcher behind the plate and handled one of the best pitching staffs in college baseball nicely this spring with Wake Forest. The 6-foot, 215-pound catcher hit .303/.435/.472 with seven home runs and excellent plate recognition, with a 17.2% strikeout rate and 17.2% walk rate. With solid raw power in the tank, an ability to draw walks at a high clip and an average or better defensive foundation at catcher, Lee could be a sneaky late day two or early day three pick.
