Caleb Lomavita - Prospect Profile

Joel Reuter - Bleacher Report - July 7th: "Lomavita offers perhaps the best mix of physical tools and on-field production, as he hit .322/.395/.586 with 15 home runs and 52 RBI in 55 games this spring while showcasing a plus arm and developing receiving skills. He is athletic enough to handle third base or a corner outfield spot, but he will undoubtedly start his pro career behind the plate."

Ayrton Ostly - USA Today - July 4th: " Lomavita's one of the top catchers whose swing is unusual but effective. He's improved his bat potential in his collegiate career."

Baseball America - July 1st: "He doesn’t work deep counts and will chase pitches out of the zone, but he has gotten away with that approach thanks to his advanced contact skills and strength that allows him to pull the ball with authority. He’ll need to develop a more nuanced offensive approach and potentially learn to use the opposite field with more frequency to become an above-average hitter."

MLB.com - July 1st: "He utilizes an unusual approach and swing mechanics from the right side, with the drop of his back leg to create a launch-oriented swing, but he routinely finds the barrel. He can drive the ball to all fields and really started to tap into his raw power in 2023 as he chased less and recognized spin better."

Keith Law - The Athletic - May 22nd: " I think he has the lowest walk rate of anyone on this ranking, however, at 4.5 percent, and while we aren’t selling jeans here, that’s an alarming figure that lines up with his chase rate of 38 percent. If you can’t tell a ball from a strike, we have some problems."
