G Kirkland is a 2028 prospect with a high-waisted, wiry 5-foot-11, 130-pound frame and plenty of physical projection. A two-position defender, Kirkland shows athleticism over polish in the infield, flashing lateral quickness and a slingy arm that topped at 77 mph across the diamond. Behind the plate, he's a one-knee-down receiver with feel, showing clean transfers and pop times ranging 2.19–2.25 with a 70 mph catcher velocity. At the plate, the right-handed hitter flashes twitch with a short, level, rotational swing that stays connected through contact. He posted an 84 mph max exit velocity and showed the ability to produce line drives. With a 7.34 60 and a 1.64 10-yard split, Kirkland moves well for his age and remains a follow thanks to his athletic base and future physical gains.
