Makes smooth movements throughout the crow hop to get behind the throw. Appropriate outfielder arm swing with accurate throws.

Change up showed good sinking movement in the 72-73 MPH range. Slider had tight action and was 69-72 MPH. Talented 2020 graduate to keep an eye on.

Kindl stands in at 5-foot-9, 140-pounds with a lean athletic frame. Offensively- Lefty sets up slightly open with his feet just outside shoulder width. Shows a slight knee bend with an upright torso holding the bat above the back shoulder using little pre-pitch bat movement. On pitch, his trigger is a quick knee raise in to stride forward while his hands move back slightly into his hitting position. Utilizes good lower body rotation clearing his hips and using the whole-body frame in the process of the swing. Shows quick hands into the hitting zone with a level barrel path throughout into a high one-handed finish. Demonstrated good plate coverage with line drive ability up the middle and pull side. 2020 grad shows a clean, fluid swing with potential. Recorded an exit velocity of 78 MPH.
