C, Arden Pabst, 6'0 205 R/R, Harvard-Westlake HS, Cal, got to see him a lot in the spring 2013 and this summer thus far in Cary, he's interesting, handled some good quality HS pitchers when he's in the lineup, has short compact swing, makes contact, still waiting on seeing the power and consistency as a hitter in a game, have seen some pop in his bat during BP, shows near ave quickness and arm strength as a catcher, worth a look.  http://xmlbscout.angelfire.com/

Great BP, plus 90s with his FB… Dominic Smith should be an easy first-rounder next June….
