Matthew Kern: RHP/2B, (2028) Frankenmuth, MI. 5-foot-1, 101-pound. (48.6 mph bat speed average). (16.5 mph hand speed average). Begins in an athletic stance with a controlled load, then uses a controlled stride. Barreled up some balls with some loud contact. Projectable while in the infield, recorded position velocities up to 67 mph; showed consistent hands, a developing exchange, and developing feet. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were average. Solid on the mound, had an over-the-top arm angle and a short arm action with good arm speed. Drop-and-drive type pitcher who uses high effort. Displays uphill shoulders and a low balance point. Lands square with a clean finish. (Max spin 1799; Avg 1628).
