Scouting Report
10/21/18 - Strong, 6-foot-0, 185. Kane has an athletic, frame with present strength. With developed forearms and core, he shows a good combination of strength and speed. He runs well for his size and better underway. Defensively, Kane profiles as a corner outfielder. Pure arm strength lends more to left field; however footwork and exchange efficiency allow his arm strength to play up. He is a true and accurate thrower who utilizes a long hop when the situation dictates. At the plate, Kane has a balanced setup with a subtle, rhythmic load. His relatively short levers promote a short swing with just the right amount of lift. His middle of the field approach creates consistent hard contact. He has an aggressive swing with bat speed. He profiles as a corner outfielder with projectable power even though his orientation is to hit for average.
Future
Kane is a potential middle of the order type bat with minimal risk. He has some low end value as a strike throwing left-handed pitcher for an institution looking for someone to save the staff when the situtaion dictates. He will compete day in and day out. A former football player, Kane is mentally and physically tough. The makeup is solid which will carry him in reaching his ceiling.
