Khane continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities and has a promising future on the diamond. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. At SS, defensive abilities have improved as he displays clean/smooth actions. Feet are active as he displays proper footwork as he works to square ground balls up. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. At the plate, he continues to shine as he did improve his hitting/power potential through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 70 mph. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup but throws too hard, resembling fastball.

Kahne is an athletic and talented 2025 2-way prospect that was eager to learn. At SS, Kahne fields the ball out in front of his body, creates momentum in his throws, and has a quick release. He needs to continue to be on time with his prep step, present a low/early glove, and learn to throw from multiple arm angles. At the plate, Kahne starts in a tall stance, gets his backside through the ball, and hits the ball to all fields. Continuing to load his hands back into the drive position and attack the inside part of the ball will allow him to have a more compact swing. Widening his stance will allow him to stay in his legs and be balanced throughout the swing. On the bump, Kahne throws his fastball for strikes and competes on every pitch. He needs to continue to gather over the rubber, separate on time, and ride his back leg toward the plate. He has a controlled landing but needs to continue to work over the front side and finish. Kahne will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.
