5-foot-11, 210 pounds. Ranked 18th, overall, in the AL 2020 rankings. Strong build. Has plus power. Showed well at Wednesday's Top Prospect Games and carried that over to the tournament. Loose, high hands, has slow/controlled take back. Minimal stride with toe-tap timing. Has great approach. Barreled a sharply-hit single to the OF and followed it up with an opposite-field HR in his next AB. A very strong bat that will be a must-follow this summer.
The stocky and strong Killingsworth had a good showing at this event and the tournament that followed. He displayed big bat speed, whistling the barrel through the zone that resulted in a bunch of hard contact with top exit velocity of 99 mph. He is compact to the baseball and long through, showing a fluid elevated finish. Killingsworth shows the ability to have power to all fields and is a threat every time he steps into the box. Defensively, he posted a very respectable 2.01 pop time, and his throws topped 79 mph to second. He projects as an offense-first backstop at the next level, but will be able to keep working out of the crouch, showing some quickness and the ability to stick a pitch when he needs too.
