Ryker Kahooilihala, Prosper Daep (TX), 2029 Positional Profile: C/OF RHH/C/OF good build/frame to add needed strength. Look for run speed to increase with added strength and physical maturity. Chance to develop into fringe avg runner in time. Defensively has versatility as corner OF and C. OF will be steady corner guy. Will learn to aggressively get to baseball playing OF, nice job of setting to throw. Hands work receiving, raw arm strength will develop. Solid hit approach with swing adjustment opportunities present. Will develop into solid player in future. Body: 5-8, 152-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength in future. Width to shoulders and back. Projects well physically. Hit: RHH. Lands in good position after stride, solid use of lower 1/2 in swing. Hits into firm front leg, stride foot stays into ground. Solid, upright posture at point of contact. Barrel lifts off shoulder to get into decent launch position. Hands push out slightly with swing creating length with uphill path. Lead shoulder pulls off early causing cut off swing. Take hands on direct path to baseball, work hands down the inside line of batters box. Get on plane with baseball looking for line drive contact. Shortening hand path will help keep lead shoulder closed some. Divide body into 1/2, front 1/2 of body in hitting is for stability, less is more with front 1/2 of body. Concentrate on using back 1/2 of body to create rotation acceleration. More is better for back 1/2 of body use. Power: 86 max exit velocity, averaged 79.4 mph. 302' max distance. Project solid bat/power combo in future with adjustments to swing. Contact consistency and impact will firm with changes. Arm: RH. C-70 mph. OF-74 mph. Arm works well for throwing from both OF and catcher. Raw arm strength will develop with long toss program increasing arm strength and raw arm speed. Defense: 2.06-2.28 pop times. OF…solid actions fielding baseball, can be more aggressive coming to get baseball. Breaks down well to field and setting to throw. Catcher…Nice hands receiving in pens. Footwork fine setting to throw, closes lead shoulder throwing, causing arm to drag, work to keep shoulders square when throwing. ATH: 7.65 runner in the 60. Nice start, solid run form with good stride length. Look for run time to increase with added strength and physical maturity.

Width to back, projects well for future strength. Hit: RHH. Upright stance, knees slightly bent. Lands in good position to hit. Rotational backside, does a good job of hitting into firm front side with good posture. Continue to develop approach and maximizing use of lower 1/2. Barrel/hands start in good position to hit. Length to swing, barrel casts around zone, work to take more direct path with barrel to hit zone. Work to keep barrel even with hands, occasionally barrel gets below hands. Power: 78 max exit velocity, averaged 67.3 mph. 257' max distance. Solid bat/power in future. Nice approach to hit and swing with couple of opportunities for adjustments. Will continue to improve with adjustments and added strength. Arm: RH. C-70 mph. INF-75 mph. Arm works well. Arm speed will increase with added strength and physical maturity. Shows developing ability to throw from all angels. Catcher…Arm works well, accurate throws majority of time, will continue to improve. Defense: 2.26-2.40 pop times. Moves fine to baseball, work to stay athletic with arms when moving to baseball, glove hand stays down with straight arm presently. Minor glove flipper, work to keep thumb with glove hand up. Fields ball deep, field more out front, field thru baseball with feet when fielding. Solid foundation to develop from. Catcher. Solid receiver, moves well, hands work receiving. ATH: 7.56 runner in the 60. 1.73 and 4.12 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Stays low in start, runs hard, length to stride. Speed will increase as he adds strength and physical maturity.
