Then and Now
Kerrigan has been one of the most consistent performers over the years in the peach state and the 2x JFG alum has significantly increased his hitting metrics from 2022 at Junior Future Games to now in 2025. The Lowndes OF finished his 2025 showcase cycle with us for two stops during the preseason in January at South Georgia Preseason ID and Preseason All-State. His max exit velocity increased from 85.0mph in July of ‘22 to 103.6mph in January of ‘25. Average exit velocity jumped from 78.7mph in July of ‘22 to 90.1mph in January of ‘25. Added nearly 65ft to his max distance as it increased from 309ft in July of ‘22 to 373ft in January of ‘25. The Auburn commit can flat out hit and offers the type of gamer profiles that provide value to success each year and Kerrigan is a name to know come July of next year.
