ANALYSIS
Mitchell worked as a catcher and a right-handed pitcher at his Texas high school and for Team USA's 18U national team in 2022, but his future in pro ball is on the receiving side of a battery. He is the top prep catcher in this class, thanks to plus raw power from the left side and a 70-grade arm. Mitchell is a below-average runner, and there are public reports that suggest his hit tool could be a problem. However, it's possible he could take a step forward as a position player once he scraps pitching, and projecting prep hit tools is a very inexact science.
