The guy could have written a number 1 best seller. His stories, short acronyms and many uses of a beach towel is like no one else we will ever see. Selfishly, I lost one of my biggest supporters but I am honored to have known the great ZD. #LIPS #TheOx #AlwaysBeCoaching

Honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as Bo, the ultimate professional. He is by far the best to ever wear the gear.
Due to a scoring change and me not knowing the rules of baseball Bodine just passed @CoachOx18 with that caught stealing and now is at 42 tied for 2nd all time

William did an amazing job today. Huge fan and even better person. He’s loved by @LongwoodBase #EverythingMatters
During the 1st Pitch silent auction, we won an opportunity for William to be bat boy. Today, his dream came true! He warmed up with the team, announced the lineup, and experienced @LongwoodBase from the dugout-leading to a W! An amazing day, with memories made to last a lifetime!

Agree!
C Caden Bodine (@CoastalBaseball) is my personal top catcher in this year's Draft class. Following a stellar Freshman season in which he hit .367/.456/.609 with 17 2B and 11 HR, Bodine this spring hit .328/.411/.523 with 20 2B, 9 HR, a career-high 71 RBIs and 31 BB to just 23 Ks. Earned an invitation to Team USA.
Prototypical catcher's frame at 5'10" and 197-pounds. Bodine has a similar setup from both sides of the plate. Relaxed, upright stance as a LHH and starts with the bat rested across his back shoulder. Leads into a big front leg lift and noticeable barrel tip. Normal stride. It's an under control operation that he does an excellent job of repeating. Head stays extremely level throughout. Short, simple and direct stroke.
Only difference as a RHH is he has a slightly open front side pre-swing. Similar moves with the leg lift (might be a touch less pronounced) and barrel tip, though he'll wrap the bat a bit more.
Contact skills and general hit-ability are Bodine's calling cards. Advanced feel for the barrel from both sides, sprays line drives all over the yard. Consistently generates quality contact. Impressive overall contact rate of 89% last season, including an even more impressive overall IZ contact rate of 94% (94% against FB, 96% against SL, 97% against CH, 91% against CB). Adjusts well (when needed) in his swing, advanced pitch recognition skills, and a polished approach: chased at a 24% overall clip in '24. Hit tool is a 60.
While it's a hit over power profile, Bodine has some pull side thump from both sides of the plate - especially as a LHH. It's more gap-to-gap power than it is over the fence power, though. Raw power is average, perhaps a tick below.
Defense has improved year-over-year. Threw out an impressive 40.7% of all base stealers last season. Soft hands, excellent and quiet receiver. Moves well, does a good job of controlling balls in the dirt. Arm is a 55 and his throws are consistently on the money. Great footwork.
Catchers with as premium a hit tool as Bodine are hard to come by. He's a safe bet to stick at the position, too, which is a nice cherry on top. He has a stoic, slow heartbeat style of play that translates well on both sides of the baseball. First-round profile this July.
