2025 Signature Event: Underclass Premier
Clark is a Canadian-born primary catcher who can also handle the corner infield spots well. A thick-bodied backstop with some lower half strength, Clark graded out well at our Underclass Combine for the 2028, 2029 and 2030 classes down in Houston, earning particularly high marks from our scouts for his ability to defend behind the plate. A product of our Toronto Regional Combine in June, Clark will get a chance to show what he can do once again when we get to Hartford in several weeks for his first FSS signature event.
