With the bat, the right-handed hitter showed why he has some of the biggest power tools in the state from the long-limed, 6-foot-2, 182-pound frame. Staying all over the barrel with strong, quick trigger hands able to drive the ball to all parts of the field with ease, showing it through an opposite field warning track shot and double. On the mound, Kuglitsch came out in relief, working with a two-pitch mix relying on his fastball sitting 89-91 mph, T92, flashing a breaking ball in the lower 80s. Complete command of the zone, attacking hitters early and staying ahead, striking out six over three and ⅔.
