12/17/2023 - National Showcase - Detroit, MI Kael is an athletic catcher in the 2026 class. Behind the plate, he shows a strong feel for the position and plays with energy. His feet are in synch with his body and stays square to his target. He has pocket awareness and the ball sticks to his glove. His catch to release actions are clean and gains a short high 3 qtr. slot to make on-line feeds to the bag at 2.16. Runs well for a catcher and it shows in his blocking ability. He deadens the baseball and is quick to recover. At the plate, he begins in a crouched stance and uses a short stride to create his launch position. Gets into his load well and his timing is smooth. Stays inside his feet and creates an on-plane path for a middle of the field approach. Working to let the ball travel longer will increase his ball flight and pitch recognition. Overall, Kael has a bright future and scouts are eager to witness his development at future BF events.
