A lefthanded-hitting catcher with a strong, 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame, Sosa has impressed Florida scouts this spring and last summer over the showcase circuit with good bat speed and above-average arm strength behind the plate. Sosa sets up with a fairly even stance in the batter’s box and has minimal pre-pitch movement before taking a small and subtle leg kick to get started and firing his hands through the zone with an uppercut path. He has a pull-heavy approach and swings with the intent to do damage and should have solid-average or better power, with good swing decisions but fringy pure contact ability. Sosa has a strong arm behind the plate and will turn in above-average pop times, though his exchange can get a bit lengthy and the direction on his footwork can get a bit more efficient and direct. He also needs to improve his flexibility and agility behind the dish and polish his receiving and blocking skills, but there’s no glaring issue and he should have the physical tools to stick behind the plate with more reps and coaching. Sosa is slow out of the box and is a well below-average runner. He is a North Carolina State commit.
