Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • LHP/OFPosition Projection

06/05/2008 - Under Armour Southeast Regional Tournament - 2008 Kaneakua showed excellent control and ability to pitch with his fastball. He attacked the strike zone, and moved his pitches in and out very well. His fastball also had very good arm side life, making it even more effective. He also mixed in a solid breaking pitch, which had life on two planes - mostly across the zone, but it did have some downward action as well. His delivery was consistent and mostly sound, allowing him to reach a consistent release point and to stay consistently around the plate with his pitches. At times during both of his outings, he was dominant - simply mowing through opposing hitters. He topped at 82 mph this time, a little less than we saw from him January, but his fastball is effectively much faster that the velocity indicates - thanks to his ability to keep hitters off balance and uncomfortable. He has potential to be a very effective LHP at the college level. Kaneakua is the type of pitcher you must see throw in a game situation to truly appreciate. Improved to Class 4 overall rating.

01/20/2008 - College PREP - Honolulu, HI Kaneakua is a potential two-way guy that also participates in swimming. From the mound he shows solid direction, finish, and balance point with solid avg. pitches down the line. He needs to stay level throughout is delivery. In the OF, he plays with easy actions and a solid transfer to get rid of the baseball. He needs to learn to finish with good direction more consistently helping his already solid avg. arm. At the plate, he shows good bat speed, extension, and loose wrists in a level stroke. He utilizes his lower ½ ok, but it could be better by simply starting with his feet straight instead of somewhat pointing outward.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
