Carter Klominek: OF/RHP, (2025) Twinsburg High School, OH. 5-foot-10, 145-pound lanky build. (62.2 mph bat speed average). (21.3 mph hand speed average). Started in a balanced athletic stance with a quick load, then used a leg kick. Bat speed is explosive, shows a loose swing plane and good extension on his finish. He barreled up lots of balls with loud contact. Aggressive approach. Confident from the outfield, he showed the ability to throw at velocities up to 76 mph; shows fluid feet, sure hands, and a natural exchange. Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front to the side. Some accuracy to the bag, used uninterrupted slot and a consistent arm action. Advanced on the mound, showed good arm speed with a loose clean arm action and a high ¾ arm angle. Stretch only type pitcher and uses easy effort. Displays even shoulders with an consistent balance point. Lands square with a clean finish. (Max spin 2165; Avg 2122).
