Law had him #65 on his board .
Hodge is an athletic catcher with a 65 arm, and he has good bat speed with some feel to hit despite getting too much over his front side. It’s a very handsy approach as a result, without getting much help from his lower half, and the bat speed is solid but not great. There’s some additional potential power here if he stays back on the ball more, which might also help his contact rate; he doesn’t expand the zone much but has had issues with contact when pitchers change speeds on him, with an overall whiff rate of 38 percent in tracked events from 2024-25. He’s committed to LSU.
