LHP Caden Kuder (Coal City, 2023) made a statement on Sunday as one of the top left-handed pitchers in attendance. Standing at 6-feet, 155-pounds, the southpaw has plenty of room to add on additional strength to his already athletic frame. With a loose/fluid delivery down the mound, the left-hander produces easy velocity with his fastball, topping out at 86 mph with a quick ¾ arm-slot. His fastball jumps out of the hand and gets on would-be hitters quickly, running naturally to his arm-side. Kuder showed off an above-average splitter to complement his already impressive fastball, killing spin with hard downward action, thrown with near identical fastball arm-speed at 76-77 mph. He then went to a short 1/7 breaking ball, thrown at 75-76 mph with mature feel for the bottom of the zone.
