Climbing over 10 spots after an upside showing at the Future Games is LHP Brady Kehlenbrink (Parkway South, 2024), who’s now slotted at 12th overall. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound southpaw twirled a pair of quality frames, failing to allow a hit while punching out two. He ran his fastball up to 88 mph, sitting 85-87 mph from a controlled, low-effort operation. Kehlenbrink spun a mid-70s curveball around the zone for strikes and, on occasion, turned over an upper-70s changeup, too. A strong, athletic arm, Kehlenbrink figures to be one of the top left-handed arms in this class for the remainder of his high school career.
Body: 6-1, 195-pounds. Strong, physical stature. Looks the part.
Hits: RHH. Open base, crouched lower half, bat waggles into a flat hand slot during load, quick toe-tap trigger. Strong hands/forearms with hand speed, level bat path, intent to contact the baseball out front.
Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 75.2 MPH. 283' max distance.
Arm: LH. Short compact draw out of the glove, clean high 3/4 release. Loose with arm strength.
Defense: Athletic mover with foot speed, quick to the baseball, creates momentum to target and plays through release.
