Tanner
Kizis

Kizis stands in at 6-foot-2, 252-pounds with a thick, strong, athletic frame. Ran a 5.18 home to first. Offensively- Righty sets up square to the pitcher with his feet wide outside his shoulders. Shows a slight knee bend with an upright torso holding the bat in front of the body using little pre-pitch bat movement. On pitch, his trigger is a quick step forward while his hands move slightly back into his hitting position. Quick hands to the hitting zone with a slight upward lift barrel action throughout into a high two-handed finish. Good lower body rotation getting whole frame involved in the swing. Demonstrated good plate coverage and the ability to hit line drives to all fields during batting practice rounds. Recorded an exit velocity of 87 MPH. Defensively- Good approach and footwork off the bag at first. Fielding mechanics are clean with good footwork towards intended target. Moves well off the bag and can make the play coming off. Recorded a positional arm velocity of 65 MPH. With increased foot speed and more strength development, could be a powerful collegiate prospect in the 2019 grad class.
