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.

Kirchner was the top ranked pitcher in attendance at the Future Games Tryout: Malibu and he made sure to show why during his five batter apperance. But, that wasn't the only side of the game in which Kirchner impressed putting together a strong showing as a RH hitting infielder. Checking in at 6'1 205.5 lbs. Kirchner continues to develop physically with impressive emerging strength while showing solid athletic ability including a 7.18 60 yard time and jumping 23.1" during the vertical jump. That athletic ability translates into a 86-87 MPH FB which he throws with spin rates approaching 2400 RPMs while dropping in an intriguing kick CHG he threw at 78-81 MPH with a high level of confidence to use it during any count while adding a 83-84 MPH sharp breaking SLD (almost cutter like) and for good measure showed a 78-81 MPH. Kirchner showed strong feel to throw his FB and CHG for strikes with flashes of his SLD/CB both working well to put together a strong showing. As good as what Kirchner did on the mound was his performance as a position player was equally impressive. His batting practice was loud with a a top end exit velocity of 99.3 MPH with a 362' max distance to the middle of the field while hitting 100% of his balls in the air plus picking up an in game hit. As well, his actions at 3B looked very strong showing good hands and a 83 MPH arm with accuracy across the diamond that he backed up with two impressive defensive plays during the game play portion.
