Kyle Hinch, Stone Memorial (TN), 2027 Positional Profile: 1B/RHP Body: 5-9, 145-pounds. Thin athletic frame on the smaller side. Can grow into his body with time. Proportional body with quickness present that can look to add size. Delivery: Slower delivery tempo, picks up his target late, medium leg lift; Stays in line with the plate well, lead leg doesn't block his momentum- with some time in the weight room this should be fixed Arm Action: RH. Long arm action that comes from an over the top slot, throws from his ear FB: FB has good angle to it, staying low in the zone will make it hard for hitters to get on plane with it, needs to be able to throw to both sides of the plate to get the most out of his offspeed CB: CB has big loopy action to it, throws it in the zone enough; WIll be most effective as a pitch to steal strikes with or when you need weak contact CH: CH at times show some run, keeping it down in the zone and letting the run miss barrels will lead to the most success with this pitch
