Body: 5-9, 176-pounds. Lean, athletic build with more room to fill out.
Hit: RHH. Narrow stance with pre-coiled back hip. Bat begins on the shoulder and lifts off during the forward move. Simple, repeatable weight shift and leg kick.

Power: 94 max exit velocity, averaged 82.0 mph. 342' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-78 mph. Short arm action with a quick transfer and a whippy finish. Arm extends all the way through the throw. Strong, accurate, consistent throws to 2B.
Defense: 2.05-2.11 pop times. Works from a one knee stance and explodes out of the squat towards 2B. Quick and fluid glove transitions.

Jakob Kerr, Castaic High (CA), 2026
Positional Profile: C/OF Shows solid toolset foundation with some athleticism that projects potential for further development/improvement
Body: 5-10, 161-pounds. Wiry lean frame at present
Hit: RHH. Very narrow set up with taller posture and slightly curled front side. Hands are set about ear height with barrel angled behind his head to LF foul pole. High back elbow and bat waggle. Sits into rear hip to start his load with a medium leg kick to get to launch. Uses his hips well in the turn and stays in the middle of his body. Hands push back and lower to help him get up through the baseball from a direct hand path with slightly uphill barrel. Solid present bat speed with room to add. 65 mph bat speed with 9 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 94 max exit velocity, averaged 83.9 mph. 294' max distance. Interesting profile here with feel to get the ball in the air consistently and can reach solid top end EV, but inconsistent with hard contact. When swing path/approach sync up with contact quality has pull side impact with middle of the field carry at present.
Arm: RH. C-74 mph. Lower transfer below the chest that needs to be cleaned up. Created length in the arm path which affected carry/accuracy.
Defense: 2.15-2.25 pop times. The foundation is there for Kerr, but needs to polish profile to reach his potential.
ATH: 7.29 runner in the 60. Stays low in the drive portion of run. Some effort to process, but can maintain stride length/speed.
