Round 33 - Colton Plaia: C, Loyola Marymount U, (CA)


Recommended Posts

Ranked #418 in Baseball America's Top 500.

Plaia overcame a sluggish start to emerge as one of Southern California's top college catchers this spring, along with UCLA's Tyler Heineman. His swing had been too long, so he worked hard to shorten it up, and he has flashed decent power this spring, hitting six home runs in a pitcher-friendly environment. � He still has holes in his swing but can punish balls that are down in the zone. At 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, Plaia is more physical than Heineman but does not have as much lateral movement behind the plate. Like Heineman, he has a chance to be an average defender with an average arm, but the jury's still out on his bat.
