Jenkins

2024 Future Games: There’s plenty to like about the upside and athleticism from Kamrin Jenkins (Oswego). The 6-foot, 174-pound middle infielder showed impressive defensive actions throughout his week in LakePoint, displaying soft hands, fluid feet, the ability to throw on the run, and a strong (T86 mph) and accurate arm across the infield. He’s a right-handed hitter at the plate with a calm and fluid approach, showing bat speed (avg. 73.8 mph) and twitch through contact. During the showcase, Jenkins produced a max exit velocity of 95.6 mph, staying on the barrel for an average of 87.4 mph. He also ran a 7.03 60 time while jumping a max vertical of 30.7 inches. The uncommitted incoming-junior has plenty of intrigue with his upside and all-around game.

An athletic, 6-foot, 168-pound frame, Jenkins showed extremely well this weekend with the bat and in the field. On Monday the right-handed hitter collected a handful of hits, consistently finding barrels. Jenkins showed maturity in the box, getting into a rhythm with zone discipline. Jenkins has strong quick hands that keep the barrel in the zone creating hard contact that drives the ball to all parts of the field. Jenkins also swiped a pair of bags, showing his explosive and athletic ability. At shortstop, Jenkins is a natural making every play with ease. He has feel at the position with a good mental clock, not rushing through plays and making simple mistakes. Jenkins also displayed his range paired with quick soft hands when receiving and transferring the ball. Jenkins is an all-around player who is mature and confident both in the box and in the field. He will be an uncommitted name to follow in the 2026 class.

Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 39 in the state. Lean, athletic 6-foot, 166-pound frame with a high waist and plenty of room to add on strength. Started at shortstop and hit out of the leadoff spot for the Panthers. At the plate, the right-handed hitter impressed with his patience, not getting rushed or sped up and waiting on his pitch, also taking advantage of it when he got it, lifting a long home run over the left field wall. It’s a loose and easy swing, utilizing some rhythm in his hands with a controlled load, looks to try and stay on top of the ball, projects into more power as he matures. Above-average actions and feel for the position at shortstop, confident in his hands and with taking charge on plays, wants the ball hit to him. High-follow shortstop with a high ceiling.
