Blast Breakdown

Bat Speed: Aiden Falls into the College to Pro range here with a Max of 74.8 MPH and maintains consistency with an average of 72.3 MPH. This shows he has the ability to hit the ball hard which he showcased at the PA State Games with a peak exit velo of 94 MPH & avg. of 86 MPH

Rotational Acceleration: Aiden peaked at 23.4 G's while averaging 20.25 G's coming in above the MLB avg. of 17 G's. This shows he can accelerate into his bat speed at an elite level which allows him to track pitches deeper and make late decisions. 

On Plane Efficiency %: Aiden's 65% on plane percentage gets him into the ideal range of 65%-85%. This means he can get on plane with the incoming pitch making him more likely to barrel it up. 

" If Aiden Kim was a vehicle he would be a Silverado with the ability to accelerate like a Tesla. His swing has Strength, Speed, Acceleration, and is just nice to look at."
