Dustyn Kilgore RHP/1B

05/25/2014 - National Tryout - Murfreesboro (Nashville), TN Kilgore continues to show as a RHP/1B with steady play in his abilities. At the plate is where he continues to show best through a balanced setup. He works on time, showing loose hands through a level swing path. Hitting grades will continue to improve as he increases bat speed. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to use his lower half more. At 1B, he works to square balls up and shows clean hands. For defensive grade to continue to improve, he needs improve footwork around the bag and present hands more out front. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 64-69 mph. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup but needs to develop more movement on pitch. Stock on the mound will continue to improve as he builds more arm strength, throws more strikes.

11/07/2013 - Baseball Factory Select Training & Competition at Pirate City Dustyn is a young RHP/1B that showed good ability at both positions. At first, he made plays and showed promising aptitude - improving his bag footwork / short hop picks dramatically. Offensively, he focused on rhythm/timing and his balance. He went 1-3 with two walk and proved with continuous drills he could adjust. On the mound, he pounded the strike zone, throwing two pitches for strikes. He was not afraid to throw his fastball, and with a change-up in development, will be a sound pitcher that can change speeds. Overall, Kilgore is a projectable player that has a couple more years to gain strength and develop his game to take it to the next level.
