Notes

2/19/24
OF Declan Kane (Providence Catholic, 2025) looks to have made some big improvements to his game since our last look in a showcase setting. Now sporting a 5-foot-11, 181-pound frame with some strength throughout, Kane chopped his 60 down nearly .20 seconds to a 7.07 in this look. The left-handed hitter’s added strength looks to have paid off throughout his round of BP as well, reaching up to 96 mph for his max EV with a max distance of 361’; working short to the ball with an uphill path and intent to elevate, working hard contact to the gaps. In the outfield, Kane is an easy mover with range to both sides and fluid footwork, pairing with steady hands and a strong arm (T85 mph OF).

Left/left OF Declan Kane (Providence Catholic, 2025) provided our scouts an intriguing upside look at the plate. A high-waisted and projectable 6-foot, 155-pound frame, Kane’s barrel played with length through the hitting zone and maintained a level plane to contact. He worked gap-to-gap in a fluid rhythm and covered the other half of the plate with comfort, too.
