Kahlil Pirani is a 2029 LHP from Bloomington High School North (IN) with a 5-foot-6, 140-pound frame and a loose, uninterrupted arm action from a low ¾ slot. He’s a simple, stretch-only mover who repeats well and fills up the zone with strikes. Pirani shows advanced feel for his pitch mix for his age, sitting 72-73 mph with his fastball (T73) that comes out clean. His curveball sits 60-62 mph with quality shape and depth, while his 68-71 mph sweeping slider has tight spin and projects as a future swing-and-miss offering.
