1/30/25
Kona comes to Fremont all the way from Mission Viejo, CA. He's participated in a number of Prep Baseeball events. He seems to flash his athleticism at every event, but its his progression that is exciting. We've seen his arm strength when it wasn't howling 40 MPH winds. Kona actuallt tested very well in the Vizual Edge testing and scored a 80.78 which was the top score for the whole event. His max EV on the day was 91.2 MPH with an avg launch angle of 32.3. Staying out of the air on that day was key. Goodluck to Kona and his team down south during the HS year.
