Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: C/OF The son of highly successful Bear River HS head coach, Donald Hawes, who was an everyday catcher at Utah and played in the Reds organization. Kazon is schooled in the fundamentals and gets the proper coaching to make natural marked improvements over the next 3 seasons. Will get his shot to win the job behind the plate in '27
Body: 5-8, 166-pounds. Smal framed but stout and put together. Young catchers build that projects Lb for Lb strong
Hit: RHH. Conventional setup to hit with an all fields approach. On-Plane flatter stroke to drive the gaps for a contact oriented game. 67.5 mph bat speed with 21 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 87.5 mph. 332' max distance. 92 EV is a good place to be in right now for the rising sophomore. Impacts the ball on a line to LCF and the pull side
Arm: RH. C-72 mph.
Defense: 1.95-2.05 pop times. The arm strength will continue to improve as he projects strength at maturity. The quick feet and exchange allows for the arm to continue to improve. The lower 1/2 allows for quicker pops and reactions behind the plate and they are there and in place right now
ATH: 7.53 runner in the 60. Runs about where a catcher would be at this age. Can see with proper speed work, a 7.1-7.2 respectable time and the increased twitch on the bases
Vizual Edge: 52.16 Edge Score
