Alfonso has an incredibly quick release. Anybody that throws out 31 out of 60 like he did last year is unconscious. He definitely can hit.He has only been catching 3 years and has really had to concentrate on learning how to catch. He could have a breakout year at the plate this year. He started off the season where he left off last year, throwing out 3 out of 4. He has the chance to throw out over 40 percent 4 years in a row.That is an amazing stat at the Division 1 level, especially for someone who played shortstop most of his high school career. One of his problems is that he needs to learn not to take so many chances with his arm. He loves to throw. He is very durable, catching over 165 games so far at louisville. He could be a sleeper in the draft.

How come Derrick Alfonso from Louisville does not get any pub when mentioning top catchers in the nation? He,s the only Catcher who,s thrown out over 40 percent of base runners three years in a row. He,s well on his way again this year as he,s already thrown out three out of 4 this year. You just can,t run on this guy . He also handled a pitching staff that was in the top 5 in the nation in era last year. He hit 313 his sophmore year and slumped a little last year 275, but he had 5 hr,s and 31 RBI,S from the seventh spot last year.

WOW I would take Preston Clark over all those guys. Preston reminds me of Pudge Rodriguez. He keeps the runners close at first and has a quick release and a strong arm to gun them down at 2nd.
