Justin Kirchner, Harvard-Westlake (CA), 2027 Positional Profile: RHP/3B Two-way athlete with a balanced skillset that contribute on both sides of the ball. Body: 6-2, 201-pounds. Athletic, well-proportioned frame with existing strength and room for further physical development. Delivery: Operates exclusively from the stretch with a low glove setup. Utilizes a short leg kick paired with a controlled sink into the lower half to generate momentum downhill. Fluid movements throughout and a quick tempo, finishing with a long, aggressive stride that helps create extension while maintaining direction toward the plate. Arm Action: RH. Loose, fluid arm action from an over-the-top slot. Generates whip through release while maintaining a repeatable motion. FB: T86, 85-86 mph. Possesses above-average carry with heavy arm-side movement. Found success working to arm side against RHHs. Consistently around the plate for strikes. T2212, 2099 average rpm. SL: 76-78 mph. Tighter shape, paired with above-average spin, gives it late, sharp action that tunnels well off the FB. Designed more for late break than big sweep, allowing for location to glove-side and back foot vs LHHs. T2282, 2212 average rpm. CH: 80-81 mph. Low-spin profile with modest arm-side fade and variable vertical movement, giving it some shape versatility. Works best as a speed-change weapon off the FB, especially when killing spin to create late drop. T1600, 1228 average rpm.

Justin Kirchner, Harvard-Westlake (CA), 2027 Positional Profile: RHP/3B Two-way athlete with a balanced skillset that contribute on both sides of the ball. Body: 6-2, 201-pounds. Athletic, well-proportioned frame with existing strength and room for further physical development. Hit: RHH. Starts from a balanced stance, initiating the load with a compact toe-tap that helps maintain rhythm and timing. Transitions smoothly into a controlled, slightly uphill bat path designed to create lift. The move into contact is quick and efficient, producing hard contact to all parts of the field. Power: 100 max exit velocity, averaged 91.0 mph. 329' max distance. Arm: RH.
