01/18/2013 - Arizona National Spring Training Justin is a young OF that will graduate in 2016. Feet are active as he attacks ground balls with his feet. He needs to work to take better routes / angles in working to get behind balls, play through, and improve foot speed to continue to improve defensive grade. Throws are accurate but needs to use lower half more and build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Kinney shows a balanced setup. Hands are loose / smooth and work through a level swing path. He makes consistent contact, mainly to the pull side. For hitting grades to continue to improve, he needs to work to keep hands inside the ball to utilize all fields and improve bat speed. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to use his lower half more through the swing. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and shows a love for the game. With 3 years to further develop, Justin has abilities with time and room to improve.
