View Draft Report

A three-year starter for Oregon State, Ice was a teammate of Michael Conforto in 2014, lost some playing time as a sophomore, then took a huge leap in 2016 with the bat, moving into the top tier of catchers for the draft. A switch-hitter, Ice has athleticism and agility for the position in his compact 5-foot-11, 191-pound frame and a short swing from both sides. He's learned his strike zone, draws walks and barrels up pitches that catch too much of the plate. He battles pitchers at the plate, then helps them behind it, blocking balls well, improving his receiving and adding quickness to his transfer, helping his average arm produce pop times right around 2.0 seconds. He's accurate as well and had thrown out 48 percent of opposing basestealers over three seasons.

Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

Ice broke out offensively in 2016 during his junior season at Oregon State and the Indians made him a supplemental second round pick, the highest they have drafted a catcher since 2003. Ice hasn't carried that offensive momentum into pro ball, but continues to stand out for his defensive ability. He blocks balls well, is a solid receiver and earns praise for his ability to handle the pitching staff. He has an accurate, average arm. A switch-hitter, Ice has a patient approach at the plate. He produces hard contact, but that hasn't translated into much power yet, partially due to a wrist injury that sidelined him for about two weeks in the first half of 2017. Thanks to his defensive ability, Ice won't have to hit much to become a big league contributor. And while he hasn't made quick work of the low minors, he was young for his draft class and will still be 22 when he opens the 2018 season with high Class A Lynchburg.
A three-year starter at Oregon State, Ice broke out offensively as a junior in 2016 and shot up draft boards as a result. The Indians made him a supplemental second-round pick, the highest they have drafted a catcher since they picked Javi Herrera in the second round in 2003. Though Ice improved as a hitter during his college career, defense remains his calling card. He is a good receiver and works with pitchers well, quickly earning praise for his ability to manage a staff in pro ball. He has an accurate, average arm. A switch-hitter, Ice has a patient, disciplined approach at the plate, and he walked more than he struck out at OSU. He also has some juice in his bat but projects as a below-average hitter in the big leagues. Thanks to his defensive ability, Ice won't have to hit much to become a big league contributor. For now, he is advanced enough to handle an assignment to high Class A Lynchburg in 2017.
