03/12/2015 - Yankees Spring Training Experience Karl is a versatile, 2-way player (RHP/SS) who can make things happen. On the mound, he works through simple/repeatable mechanics with smooth rhythm/tempo. FB ranges from 62-64 mph as he commands the zone, working the ball to both sides of the plate. Breaking ball is effective with 11/5 shape as he throws it with FB arm-speed. He attacks hitters and throws strikes. At SS, Karl showed his athleticism with the ability to cover some ground in the INF. He has a clean exchange and fires strong/accurate throws across the diamond. Working around the GB more (from right to left) will help to improve defensive abilities. With the bat, Karl has bat speed as he can connect and drive the ball with pop. When centered, he crushes the ball to the gaps. Developing a more relaxed grip (top hand) will help to improve consistency on his swing path. Karl is a talented player with a bright future ahead of him.
