Foot speed is near average as he will benefit by getting on a speed / agility program to improve foot quickness for the next level. Arm strength is solid average with throws displaying accuracy and carry. Pop times were in the 2.14-2.25 range. Receiving and blocking skills show as playable tools as he continues to improve. Offensively is where Kyle shows best through an athletic setup. Hands are quick, generating bat speed and he shows a solid feel for the barrel with the baseball jumping off his bat when centered. Swing path gets long due to an arm bar created in his load. He needs to work on keeping hands inside the ball to utilize all fields. He is a great teammate that loves to play the game as he listens and is very coachable.
