Brody
Keneston

Physical: Large, projectable 6-foot-2, 200lb frame with athleticism that carries. 6.90 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, even stance with some hip coil over the backside and the hands slotted at the shoulder in a stretched position. Utilized a short lift and replace stride, turning the barrel over the rear hip and driving through a slightly uphill path into the zone. Was able to match pitch-plane early with ability to leverage at the front of the plate; created loud contact when getting extended to the LCF gap (30% fly ball rate, 70% hard hit rate via Trackman) producing extra-base hits in a middle of the order type role. Mature approach translated well to game action with controlled, attacking at-bats, getting off good swings on hittable pitches. Notched a T94 mph bat-exit velocity at his peak and added a 344 foot batted ball distance (doubles power, HR juice to pull). 

Defensively: The primary backstop is a seasoned defender, operating with subtle actions as a soft glove hand manipulates the corners when receiving. Pop times ranged from 1.95-2.04 with quick, straight line footwork gaining ground, using low posture as the transfers worked clean from glove to throwing hand (74 mph arm). Advanced feel in catch/throw phase allowing length to play positively from behind the dish; then showed natural blocking skills, burying the ball over the plate on down angles. Showcased some positional flexibility at the hot corner (3B), moving well laterally with pace to his left and rangy footwork in either direction. Bent at the waist from a medium posture, fielding smoothly out in front and handled plays on the run with confidence, throwing across the body.

Physical: The athletic 6-foot-2, 195-pound backstop featured present strength in the actions allowing for high feel in all phases. 6.92 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - The righty started from an upright, balanced stance with an imposing presence in the box. Quiet hands in the stance, but created plenty of whip through impact through a high-intent, slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Generated a healthy dose of hard line drives and deep fly balls to the LCF gap (335 foot max batted ball distance) while getting up to as high as 94 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball. Hit behind the baseball and liked the ball out over the plate where he could create leverage; fluid looking stroke that exudes confidence in extra base hit ability. 

Defensively: The primary backstop featured quality receiving skills from a traditional setup; pop times got down as low as 2.00 (2.00-2.05) with definitive lower half drive out of the crouch. Got in-line in a hurry and stayed low in the posture aiding a strong 75 mph arm strength from a high ¾ slot. Easy blocking technique with down chest angles following the glove hand to the spot .. The first baseman flashed confidence around the bag with active footwork as the weight stayed over the toes on the approach, fielded off of the middle of his body, got the hips lined up towards the target, and let it rip from a high ¾ slot (77 mph). Positional flexibility is there if need be.

Physical: Long-levered and well-put together at 6-foot-1, 190-pounds with athleticism throughout the movements. 6.98 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: The right-handed hitter started with a balanced, slightly bent stance as the hands showed rhythm above the shoulder. A repeatable lift and replace stride allowed for consistent feel for the barrel through the hitting zone evidenced by an impressive 70% on-plane efficiency per Blast Motion. The swing was short and direct through a flat path yielding a 50% line drive rate according to Trackman Baseball, which worked advantageously while using a gap-to-gap approach. Average bat-exit velocities approaching 90 mph (92 mph peak) displayed the high-level bat to ball skills present in the box and a 73.5 mph max bat speed hinted at some more power on the horizon. 
Defensively: The primary backstop showcased quality receiving skills with a soft glove hand flashing minimal movement at the catch point. Pop times ranged from 2.01-2.19 using a quick release from a short 3/4 slot and adequate straight line footwork generated consistent, accurate throws on the bag. A solid blocker as well with ability to get the body around the ball on pitches on either side of the plate, Keneston has the chance to be an above-average defender with continued improvements. C - 75 mph
