Kai Rice, Cedar Ridge (TX), 2026
Positional Profile: OF/1B LHH OF with good build/frame to add strength. Moves well in OF, arm strength will improve. Shows solid contact off barrel with opportunity to increase hard contact. Solid tools present, interesting player to watch develop.
Body: 5-9, 172-pounds. Solid build, will add increased strength in future for good build.
Hit: LHH. Lands in good position to hit after stride. Rotational back foot, does a nice job of using lower 1/2 with opportunity to improve. Hits off firm front side, body lays back at point of contact, would like to see body bit more upright at contact. This will result in increased ability to impact baseball. Barrel/hands in good launch position, knob/hands take solid path to baseball. Bat/hand speed will increase with added strength. 64.4 mph bat speed with 14 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 84.8 mph. 315' max distance. Solid bat/power combo in future. Opportunity for adjustments present resulting in improved ability to impact baseball.
Arm: RH. OF-81 mph. Arm works with fair arm speed, elbow get low occ. Recommend long toss program to increase arm speed.
Defense: Moves well to baseball, does a solid job of breaking down to field baseball.
ATH: 6.92 runner in the 60. Good start, upright runner. Work to get head and shoulder lean forward. Shows foot speed. Run time can improve. Plus runner
