Oregon State's catching future is bright. The Catchers in the 2024 and 2025 recruiting classes are noted for their strong throwing arms and superb glovework. That being said, the underlying reason for their lofty national rankings is their stick-work. Both can swing the bat and swing it fast.
The '24 guy has recorded an Exit-Velo of 97.8 mph.
The '25 guy has recorded an Exit-Velo of 95.8 mph
The '24 catcher has two years of high school and summer baseball left. The '23 catcher has 3 years of school and travel ball left before setting foot on campus.
Is it possible they will both be launching at 100 miles per hour XV or more by the time they lace 'em up for fall ball at Goss Stadium?

Sounds like we might be watching them in the league before they lace up for the beavs. From my understanding at those exit speeds you can subtract 10 or so to get their wood bat exit velocity. Average for high end power hitters is 92-95 in the MLB and maxes tend to be in the 110-115 range (wood bat). If these guys put on another 10-15 mph before they graduate it's gonna be hard not to draft them if they also have big league arms.
