One of the top infield defenders left on the board and another young-for-class prospect, Crumes excelled in multiple categories with an athletic look at 5-foot-10, 170-pounds. A 6.9 runner, Crumes sets up in the right-handed box and hovers patiently before deploying an explosive launch that produced in-the-air contact to the pull-side. The bat strength has ticked up, good for 97 mph rounded exits, and I've seen him get to pull-side power in-game. On the infield, he plays light-footed with soft hands and gets into mid-80s arm strength in a quick fashion. Still substantial growth in his game with more athleticism on the way, I expect this event to foreshadow a breakout junior season for Kaden.

I got a good look on Crumes during the spring and he backed that with strong metrics at this event. He looks stronger than his listed 5-foot-9, 155 pounds, evident in the twitch shown in the box that produced exits approaching 95 mph. He starts tall in the right-handed batters' box, making a short, controlled forward move with quiet hands that turn a tight, uphill barrel. His sub-7.00 60 (6.97) is a quality time for the age and there is some first-step quickness to indicate strength will help him run even better once underway. On the dirt, he brought a polished look with efficient feet, soft hands, and quickness to the transfer.
