Player to Watch: '22 Keoni Young
May 28, 2020
We will begin looking at some of the rising prospects in the 2022 Class that have made significant jumps in recent months and project to continue making positive progression over the next couple of years. The up and coming classes have a wealth of talent that will bring an abundance of attention to our state as a place to find talented prospects.
A standout at the Liberty Scout Day, Keoni Young was on track for a breakout sophomore year both at the plate and on the mound for Liberty. With clean actions actions throughout his game, you may find him working his way up the PBR Player Rankings if he continues to improve his game as he has done over the past year. The thick built corner infielder has smooth actions with an improving arm that should continue getting stronger in the coming years. At the plate, he possesses a simple, repeated swing with above average bat speed and power potential evident by his 89 mph Exit Velocity. On the mound, he uses a drop and drive delivery and effectively throw each of his three pitches for strikes. He won't overpower hitters with velocity, but understands how to move the ball around the zone and get hitters out closing out at tight game early in the year for the Patriots.
