Delivery: Talll stance on the mound, hand pump during his windup. Rides his back hip down the mound very well. Arm Action: RH. Arm works very well with a natural spiral into a high 3/4 slot. FB: T86, 84-85 mph. Some zip to his FB with consistent heavy ASR. T1746, 1678 average rpm. SL: 71-73 mph. Displayed the ability to throw his BB whenever he wanted for a strike, and to locate it for a swing and miss when needed. T2232, 2026 average rpm. CH: 75-76 mph. Great feel for his CH with deep depth to the arm side. Complements the rest of his arsenal well. T1196, 1062 average rpm.

(The Webb School, 2025) The junior showed off both aspects of his game on Wednesday on his home turf against the Bulldogs from Illinois. The 6’6, 210 lbs frame swung the bat well for the Feet early in the day. Driving in 2 RBIs with a short and strong swing, while being intelligently aggressive on the basepaths. He also showed his talents on the mound. The XL & Tall frame was up to 85 with good offspeed stuff, although he struggled with control greatly later the stuff is there. With a strong frame that can get stronger he is one to keep tabs on going into a big summer for uncommitted juniors.

Evan Kirby, The Webb School (TN), 2025 Positional Profile: RHP/1B Body: 6-6, 210-pounds. Big frame that is lacking some muscle mass but has plenty of room for growth Delivery: The young righty comes in a fills up the zone early. He is a big built pitcher that doesn't know how to use his lower half yet in sync with upperhalf rotation. He hides the ball for a long time so the 83 to 84 mph FB sneaks up on hitters. Has a clean hand break timed with lower half. Arm Action: RH. Righty has a clean arm action as he goes from hip to ear. As a taller pitcher he has a quicker arm out of his glove. Kirby releases the ball from a high 3/4th arm slot to create weak contact. FB: T85, 82-84 mph. FB plays best down in the zone, gets armside run to help miss barrels and create weak contact. Getting ahead in the count will play a big factor in the success of his FB T1868, 1754 average rpm. SL: 69-71 mph. SL will work best when its thrown off his FB. Moving the opposite way of his FB will create lots of weak contact and taken strikes. T2041, 1756 average rpm. CH: 72-72 mph. Does a good job of killing spin on his CH. CH will play best when its thrown to LHH and lets it work armside, will be hard for them to go the other way with it T1313, 1204 average rpm.
