Kevin worked out at both 2nd base and 3rd base at his last workout in Boston, MA. He has soft hands, good footwork, and he centers the ball well. Kevin keeps the ball in front of his body, he works the double play nicely, and his exchange is quick and clean. Kevin has a long / loose arm action, and he throws with accuracy and average strength to his target. Kevin showed slightly better at 3rd during the workout. He can improve defensively by quickening his feet, playing more through the ball, and with added arm strength. At the plate, Kevin has a square / athletic set-up, a short stride, and good balance. He swings in good rhythm, he uses all fields, and he gets his lower 1/2 through. Hitting can spike with work on his load, staying closed, and shortening his swing.

Kevin worked out both at 2nd and 3rd base during his last workout in Washington, DC. He showed equal at both positions with soft / sure hands, fluid feet, and by fielding the ball in a low / athletic position. Kevin presents his glove well, he made plays, and he works the double play nicely. He has a solid backhand, he plays through the ball, and he throws with a loose arm with accuracy to his target. Quicker feet and added arm strength will help abilities at both positions improve. At the plate, Kevin has a good set-up, a square stride, and a proper load. He has good balance, average bat speed, and he makes square / consistent contact. Kevin swings in good rhythm, he can spray to all fields, and he makes good use of his lower 1/2. If Kevin can level off his swing, and be less robotic, we could see a spike in offensive numbers.

Kevin is a young, 2012 graduate that shows as a two way player at 2B and behind the plate with a small, thin frame that shows projection as he continues to physically mature.

He displays flexion and works to get mitt around the baseball. Blocking skills are slightly above average as he uses his body to block balls. Pop times were 2.50-2.70 as his feet work in line with his target.

At the plate, hitting abilities are slightly above average with below average power through a balanced approach. Lower half works well and he has an idea at the plate. Swing path gets long due to an arm bar created in his load. Power numbers will increase as more overall body strength is developed.
