Kiel stands 5-foot-11 165-pounds with an average build. On the mound he throws from a high 3/4 slot with a fastball topping 80 mph with late action and arm side run. His curveball has a 1/7 shape and ranges 64-67. Mechanically he has a good mound presence with a sound delivery. He needs to stay stronger on his front side.
With the bat his setup is athletic with a small stride on the swing. His swing path is slightly on the incline with a high finish and a 78 mph exit velocity off a tee. He slightly opens up his front side before the ball enters the strike zone losing some power. If he stays closed longer that will improve almost instantly. From the OF he gets through the baseball well with some carry to the bag. He needs to quicken up his transfer and release.

Kiel stands 5-foot-11 165-pounds with room to add some weight. On the mound he uses a quick tempo in his delivery, drives off his back leg, and has rotation in his shoulders early and with tilt. He throws from an over the top slot with extension on release and a long clean finish over his front knee. His fastball sat 78-80 mph with a curveball (1/7 shape) at 71 mph and 73 mph changeup that he turns over.
