In addition to having one of the coolest baseball names ever, Trahan happens to be the top overall catcher from the high school crop in the 2012 class.
He has a solid frame (6’1″, 215 lbs), one conducive to catching everyday, and he is an excellent athlete. In addition to playing all over the diamond (catcher, first base, third base), he’s also seen time at tight end and quarterback for the school’s football team.
He has a cannon for an arm and has consistently produced some of the top pop-times on throws to second on the showcase circuit.
At the plate, he’s consistently described as selective, showing great patience and he’s definitely not afraid to take a walk. He has decent power and is actually one of the top running catchers to come along in quite some time.
Assuming he doesn’t sign, he’ll be a part of a banner crop at the University of Mississippi, joining top infield prospect Gavin Cecchini.
With his unusual combination of skills (plus defense, plus speed) it’s unlikely he’ll ever be a Rebel.
