Kaden Frommelt 2023 Catcher Marion HS – D-Bat
The shorter, stocky catcher of Marion really stood out behind the plate on the weekend. Coming off a great summer season, he continued swinging a hot bat while lacing multiple XBH’s from gap to gap. Gives a lot of energy behind the plate and is a vocal leader. Received up 80’s velocity well. 2.05 pop in between innings. Follow 2023 prospect.
