Luke Kiernan (Cactus Shadows, 2025)
Large build with strength throughout, room for added athleticism. Above average strength for age. 7.53 runner in the 60. (C) 67 mph C velo. 2.35-2.61 pop times. Transfers were clean and quick with controlled and consistent footwork. Room for added arm strength, throws were short of the bag, some played well on a hop. With added athleticism and arm strength, should see increased pop times with his clean technique. (Hitting) RH. Max EV 90.4 mph. Max Dist. 322 feet. Base is just outside of shoulder width, athletic bend in the knees and slightly open. Hands are held at shoulder height with a vertical bat. Stride brings him back to square. Letting the ball travel is key for him. When he hits from a strong position, ball is impacted very well. Has tendency to be out front and runs out of bat. Backspin flight is created with contact. Very little separation created during load, works for him with the size and strength.
