Kohler was called on for a 2 inning save on Thursday night after the James Clemens Jets scored 3 runs in the top half of the 6th inning and he made quick work of the Panther hitters. Showcasing a high tempo delivery and a short arm action, the ball seemed to really explode out of the hand. In his first inning of work, the uncommitted RHP worked mainly 85-87 mph and flipped in a couple of sharp breaking balls at 67-68 mph that showed late depth. The fastball showed a ton of different movement as most of the offerings showed arm side action while a few showed late cut away from right-handed hitters (check out the last pitch of the video). Kohler showed an increase in velocity in his second inning of work as he touched 88 mph multiple times and bumped 89 mph on one pitch. Did not pitch last year due to a hand injury and the COVID-19 shortened season. The changeup is also a quality pitch that he did not need to use Thursday night. A guy who may see his recruitment pick up substantially after his showing on Thursday night.
