That's right, another high school catcher to consider -- this one from the same Florida high school that produced Eric Hosmer, among others.

Collins' bat is ahead of his glove, and it's sure to get him plenty of attention in the spring. He has a pure stroke and a professional approach at the plate, giving him a chance to hit for average and power at the next level.

The jury is still out about Colllins' defensive ability behind the plate, with some unsure if he can stay back there. He does have some skills as a backstop, showing some agility with his strong, powerful frame. It might behoove a team drafting Collins to send him out as a catcher, knowing the bat will likely play elsewhere if it doesn't work out.

*Players are graded on a 2-8 scale for both present and future tools. 2-3 is well below average, 4 is below average, 5 is average, 6 is above average and 7-8 is plus.
