10.20.18 Kirkpatrick has a lanky frame at 6-foot, 175-pounds. The right-handed hitter barreled it up during BP with a top exit velocity of 89 mph. He starts from a balanced, open stance, then strides forward landing square. Quick twitch hands work through the zone on a mostly flat path as he rotates his lower half through contact. Behind the plate, Kirkpatrick posted pop times of 2.11-2.25 with a top velocity from the crouch of 74 mph, working with directional footwork and clean exchange. Good lower half mobility, presents a low target during bullpens, stays underneath the ball, and receives with soft hands.
01.20.18 6-foot, 175-pound, projectable frame. The right-handed hitter starts from a tall, open stance, simple load, short stride, quick-strong hands, hard contact, line-drive power with an exit velocity of 84 mph. Behind the plate, Kirkpatrick has good mobility in his lower half, soft hands, relaxed exchange, directional footwork, and a clean arm stroke with a 73 mph velocity from the crouch and 2.15-2.35 pop times.
06.13.17 6-foot, 175-pound, lean, long limbed frame. The right-handed hitter has a balanced, stacked setup, smooth load with his hands triggering back as his front foot lands with a short stride. Good approach during batting practice with a short, level hand path produced line drives gap-gap with fluid rhythm and an exit velocity of 78 mph off the tee. Behind the plate, Kirkpatrick has soft hands with an athletic setup, quick footwork and exchange. He throws from a ¾ slot at 67 mph with still developing arm strength and his pop times were 2.11-2.29 seconds.
