Scouting Report
1/20/22
Kroll is one third-ranked 2024 in Colorado and came in at No. 350 in the national rankings following his commitment to Dallas Baptist this past December. The 6-foot-3, 170-pound right-hander impressed over the past year with a fastball that sat comfortably in the mid-to-low 80s. It's a high ceiling from Kroll and our staff is excited to see how he looks next month for the first time in the 2022.

One of the top 2024 prospects in the state of Colorado and Athan didn’t disappoint. Great composure and repeatable delivery. Fastball ranged from 81-85, topping out at 86.1. Strike thrower with high ¾ release gives opportunity for arm side run and he has feel for off speed. Very high ceiling and projectability.
