Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 1B/LHPPosition Projection

10/03/2021 - All-In Membership - Lakewood, CO Kayden is a 1B/LHP who will graduate high school in 2026. A young/developing player who has plenty of room to add more strength throughout. At 1B, he works to center the baseball and pick out hops. Showed soft hands with a clean transfer and whippy arm action. He throws from a high 3/4 arm slot with accurate/on-line throws and an arm velocity up to 65mph. Showed good feel at first base. On the mound, he works exclusively from the stretch. Works with good direction and is balanced at release. Has clean actions with ability to repeat to his delivery. Throws a FB that sits 59-60mph with good arm side run, a 1/7 shaped breaking ball with early break, and a changeup that he throws with FB arm speed and has some arm side run. FB was best pitch during his bullpen. At the plate, he starts with an athletic and square stance. Short glide step, with good rhythm, and ability to track ball to barrel. A short barrel path enables him to hit balls to opposite field with a bat exit velocity up to 55mph during his round of BP. With 5 years of continued growth and development, we foresee him having a bright future on the baseball diamond.

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).
