2/05/22

Listed at 6-foot-1, 170 pounds with athleticism, right-handed-hitting INF Taylor Kujak (Plainfield Central, 2023) made a statement at this event with his round of batting practice. Kujak started the day by running a 7.05 in the 60 on what appeared to be a slower track, and he followed it up with one of the better rounds of BP on the day. Kujak starts in a wide setup and showed different styles of strides throughout his round. One thing that stayed consistent was his borderline explosive bat speed (averaged 71.7 mph) that he got to without exerting too much effort. Kujak routinely made hard contact back up the middle of the field with his best batted ball registering at 97.1 mph off the bat and 359 feet. Defensively, it remains to be seen where he is best suited, but Kujak features a potent right-handed bat and athleticism in his movement patterns and frame.
