Max Kelly, Kamiakin (WA), 2028 Positional Profile: C/OF Body: 5-10, 185-pounds. Hit: LHH. Feet are set more than shoulder width apart; the front foot is slightly open, with weight shifted back over the rear leg. The hands are set shoulder high, stacked over the back foot, with the knob pointed down and to the other batter's box. Weight shifts back slightly more as the front foot lifts into a quick up and down toe tap stride; the hands stay on the same level but shift past the back foot into the load. The front foot lands before weight shifts forward into the swing; the hips then flip open, which pulls the hands tight to frame through the zone, meeting the ball out front, pulling the ball with line drive contact on the ball. Ending with a controlled one-handed follow through. Power: 100 max exit velocity, averaged 90.0 mph. 365' max distance. Arm: RH. C-70 mph. OF-77 mph. C: Gathers the ball below the letters before breaking into a quick UPS arm swing into a 3/4 arm release. OF: Catches the ball one handed before gathering at the belt; the throwing arm breaks behind the back into a slower up arm swing to a low 3/4 arm release. Defense: 2.11-2.26 pop times. C: Works from a traditional 1KD stance, presenting a target center of the strike zone, and catching the ball with flexion in the wrist when framing. Shifts feet slightly to the right batter's box, also sits up into a both knee up stance behind the plate, but also stays in a 1KD stance sometimes. Drops to both knees when blocking dirt balls in front. OF: Relaxed upright posture before contact, first step is backwards on contact with the ball, working body position behind the ball, to the shuffle feet and carry momentum through the catch, and to the target. ATH: 7.29 runner in the 60. 1.75 and 4.10 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 18.50 max vertical. Vizual Edge: 66.4 Edge Score
