Scouting Report
Futures Preview South (June 4th, 2017)
Kane has a lanky, athletic build at 6-feet 160-pounds. One of the top 2020s in NJ and one of the top ranked players in the country for his class. Ran the 60 yard dash in 6.71 and recorded an exit velocity of 87 MPH. Offensively, ultra-smooth swing and load. Tall, opened stance with bat parallel to ground above his back shoulder to start. Uses a leg lift and big stride to start swing. Hands load down and back. Effortless swing and follow through, produces gap to gap pop. Produces lift in follow through – rises up slightly in finish. Launched multiple over the right field wall at the event, and showcased his speed and athleticism on the base paths during gameplay. Aggressive baserunner, always looking to get the extra bag. Defensively, smooth and effortless in attacking ground balls in the outfield – throws topped at 82 MPH and were on target. Can play all three OF spots, but projects as CF at next level. High ceiling prospect with a lot to like.

One of the top 2020s in the state. Kane has a lean, athletic build with quick twitch actions in the outfield and on the base paths. Ran a 4.38 on a turn to 1B on an extra base hit. LHH with some lift to swing. Wide set up with hands above back shoulder. Uses a leg kick to start swing, tucks front shoulder in slightly to load hands back further. Elastic hips and arms in finish. Top prospect in the class.
