    Noviello is a high ceiling offensive player with the potential for power from the left side. He shows some pitch recognition skills, and his timing has come along as he's matured. Noviello has above-average arm strength in the infield, but he lacks the closing speed and body control expected of second baseman so he has transitioned to catching this spring. Noviello is raw behind the plate, but some scouts believe he can stay there. Noviello was a bit of a tweener before converting to catching, and could now develop into a solid up-the-middle player. He is far from his ceiling, so he may end up at school. Noviello has a fallback option on the mound, where he has touched 92 with his fastball in the past. He is committed to Maine.
