    Urman is a standout defensive catcher who has struggled with the bat for three seasons with Cal State Fullerton. A 6-foot-1, 195-pound righthanded-hitting backstop, Urman has never hit over .300 in a season for the Titans, and he struggles to impact the baseball as well, but he is a plus defensive catcher who has great actions and arm strength behind the plate. He sets a nice low target and receives the ball well, and has a quick exchange on throws to second base, with both strength and accuracy. It’s normal to see him popping in the 1.90-second range to the bag and making tags easy for his middle infielders. This spring he hit .366/.300/.380 with four home runs, a 13.2% strikeout rate and a 5.4% walk rate. Urman doesn’t profile as a starter given his offensive questions, but he has a chance for a backup role in some capacity given his defensive ability.
