6-foot, 190-pound physical proportional frame. Recorded a 60 time of 7.44 at the event. Bulldog tyoe mentality on the mound, showing above average arm speed from a ¾ arm angle and a quick arm action. Up-tempo type pitcher that uses the lower half well in the delivery. Displayed a clean finish while sitting 84-85 mph with late cutting action and control low in the zone. Throws a 12/6 curveball (71-72) with command low in the zone and swing and miss action. The breaking ball tunnels well with the fastball that he located well down in the zone.

C Carter Kimbrell (2023) has worked his way into the Eagle’s lineup over the past few weeks thanks to steady production offensively. Standing a sturdy 6-0, 190 pounds, Kimbrell fits the bill for what you want as a backstop. A left-handed hitter, the sophomore catcher had one of the biggest swings of the day for either team when he belted a RBI double over the center fielder’s head in the 1st. Stance is square and has solid separation with the hands and front foot. Creates significant torque in the hips thanks to a powerful lower-half. Excellent job facing a L/L situation and going the other way.
