Positional Profile: C/OF
Body: 5-11, 163-pounds. Long and lean frame with some high-waistedness to the profile. Has put on significant weight since last summer and should continue to fill out as he matures.
Hit: LHH. Tall athletic stance, hands are held above rear shoulder with the bat tipped 45 degrees towards the pitcher. Small leg kick pushes the back knee loaded before the back leg launches forward. With a good combination of lateral and rotational strength. Body finished leaning back slightly with weight on the back knee. Aggressive to get the ball out front with the intent to drive it. Has a slightly upward bat path that matches the path of the ball well. Produced hard line drives from center to the right field line. Would take too big of a swing occasionally and drop the barrel. Advanced hitter and swing that will get much better
Arm: RH. C-67 mph. Short and quick arm action with present arm speed and strength.
Defense: 2.00-2.15 pop times. Worked well blocking balls in front of him with clean footwork and athletic actions working through the baseball. Clean and refined throwdowns to 2nd.
ATH: 7.48 runner in the 60. 7.48 in the30 yard split.
Brendan Kutz, Farragut (TN), 2028
Positional Profile: C/OF
Body: 5-10, 150-pounds. Tall with long levers. Slim at this point in his development but has plenty of lenght to add size and muscle mass. Present athleticism.
Hit: LHH. Closed tall stance, hands start close to his face; small stride Hits lots of low line drives, stays through the ball well. Hands work well when he stays long through it and hits it up the middle
Power: 86 max exit velocity, averaged 76.8 mph. 267' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-66 mph. Short arm action, throws from his ear; Quick arm, flashes of good arm strength
Defense: 2.18-2.34 pop times. Gains ground on throw downs, stays in his legs well; Agile behind the plate
ATH: 7.54 runner in the 60. 1.83 and 4.20 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
