David Seifert noted, “One of the top position players at this year’s ProCase. 5-foot-8, 180-pound strong bodied catcher produced hard, consistent contact during game play with a loud single to right field and a long home run to right center among his live at-bats. The left handed batter with a slight dive stride also barreled the baseball during BP, producing a 99.3 EV as his top bolt.”

He improved defensively as well, popping a 2.00 at his best to the bag with a 76 mph high. Kibler looks like he’s well on his way to being an all-league bat at the college level. 

7/29/21

Kibler  showcased an above-average left-handed swing that generates some pull-side pop. His repeatable swing produced consistent barreled contact that plays into his lofted swing path. Kibler is also an above average runner as he ran a 6.94 60-yard dash.

3/17/21

Kibler is an impressive left-handed-hitting catcher. He’s loose and barrel aware in the box, stringing together one of the most consistent rounds of the day with only one ball struck under an exit speed of 89 mph. It's a repeatable line-drive swing, triggered by a leg kick stride that is on time and athletic. On top of that, he put up one of the best pops of the day, measured at 1.94 out of the crouch.
