Guscette was a solid defensive catcher out of high school in the 2020 class and made it to campus at Florida, where he played for two seasons before transferring to Alabama for the 2023 season. Guscette struggled to hit for average or power in the Cape Cod League during the 2022 summer, but started the year hot in 2023. He was hitting over .300 through his first 30 games of the season, but cooled off at the end and finished with a .260/.345/.479 slash line with nine home runs, a 14% strikeout rate and 7.6% walk rate. The 6-foot, 200-pound catcher caught just 19% (10-for-51) of basestealers this spring. He has near average arm strength, but has a longer arm action and a slower exchange that could be improved.
A solid defender, Guscette has a chance to step onto campus at Florida and play right away if he doesn’t sign in a shortened 2020 draft. Guscette has solid arm strength and has turned in pop times in the 1.90-2.00 range fairly consistently for evaluators, with good makeup that should allow him to excel at the mental side of the game. Guscette has a wide setup at the plate with a flat bat path that’s more strength-based than twitchy and he’s a well below-average runner. That profile could be tough for teams to pounce on out of high school—particularly in a five-round draft—but if he proves his bat in the SEC he will elevate his draft profile significantly for the 2023 draft.
