UPDATED - Pick 26 (775) - C Tommy Pincin - Upland (CA) High School



6-12  -  Upland High School catcher Tommy Pincin was drafted by the New York Mets in the 26th round. He was meeting with team representatives Wednesday night.  -  http://www.dailybulletin.com/sports/20140611/hockin-signs-with-indians 

Pincin is a cather/outfielder from Upland (CA) High School that we have had ranked off and on this year on the top 10 catcher list.  DOB:  10-4-95

Baseball America had him ranked #342, saying:  Pincin, a San Diego State commit, stands out for his physical 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame and offensive upside more than for his defense behind the plate. His righthanded swing works, prompting some scouts to project he’ll grow into 55 power potential, with a chance to be a 45 hitter. His defense has a long way to go, however. He has solid-average or better arm strength, but he’ll need to refine his receiving, blocking and footwork. For now, he profiles as a backup catcher down the road, a righthanded power bat off the bench.
