UTL/RHP Brayden Kuptz (Arrowhead, 2027) is an athletic utility player with the ability to cover multiple positions including infield and backstop. His 2.01 pop time from behind the plate was an event best showing a quick release and an accurate arm. With the bat, the right-handed hitter had a 92 mph max exit velocity from a compact and repeatable swing that will definitely play in game. On the mound the right-hander was up to 81 mph with the fastball that he drove through areas of the zone consistently. He paired in with a sinker, slider and useful change up to round out his arsenal. Kuptz is an intriguing follow moving forward.
