Scouting Report
7/12/17 5-foot-7, 165-pound right-handed hitter initiates swing from slightly open set up with lift and replace stride. Demonstrates good balance, quick hands and ability to use all fields. There is some bat wrap and tendency to achieve separation through upper half turn during load as opposed to weight shift away from hands. There is some associated length to swing. Swing did play in BP with Kemplin spraying line drives.
Defensively, demonstrate good lateral quickness and agility. Footwork is solid on throws of 73 mph across the diamond. Kemplin would benefit from attacking ball more aggressively to create better angles on throws as well as consistently working from bottom up
