    Callahan had his second season in a row with an OPS above 1.000 for St. Joseph’s, hitting .342/.435/.613 in 262 plate appearances this spring. At 6 feet, 192 pounds, Callahan is a lefthanded hitter who sets up with an open stance, squares himself off with a toe tap before unleashing an aggressive swing. He has good bat speed, average power and made consistent quality contact this spring. There is effort to his swing and a tendency to leak open early. That causes him to get pull-happy and allows him to do damage on pitches middle-in, but leaves him more vulnerable on the outer third. He has shown solid contact skills in the Atlantic 10 but with more questions about how that will hold up against superior pitching. Callahan is a 55 runner who played center field last summer in the Costal Plain League, but St. Joseph’s has played Conlan Wall in center with Callahan primarily playing left field. A team that drafts Callahan could move him back to center field to try to maximize his value.
