On the infield, Kaylin has active footwork and plays through the ball with sure hands. She has playable range with accurate throws to the bags. Kaylin uses an over the top arm slot and has a fluid release. In the outfield, Kaylin has an out front fielding position. She is an aggressive player with active, efficient footwork. Kaylin hustles to the ball and makes a clean transfer into her throwing position. By working to get behind the ball and to keep her glove closer to her body, Kaylin will be able to get rid of the ball quicker. Offensively, Kaylin uses an athletic setup, on time load, and short stride to make a positive move to the ball. She has good pitch selection, and maintains strong balance throughout her swing. Kaylin has explosive bat speed and keeps her barrel on plane with each pitch. She has on time rhythm and squares up the ball at contact. Kaylin will benefit from incorporating the use of her hips and lower half into her swing. Overall, Kaylin is an aggressive athlete that will continue to develop as a player.
05/18/2014 - College PREP - St. Louis, MO Kaylin is an evolving 1B and OF. Defensively, she understands the demands of both positions well. As a 1B, she makes accurate throws, fields using sure hands and makes plays consistently. Working on an athletic pre-pitch position, fluid footwork to both gloveside and backhand and staying light on the feet will help to improve range and efficiency. As an OF, she has good reads off the bat and stays on line when throwing. Working on quicker feet, a more athletic arm slot and using the lower half when throwing will help to improve velocity and efficiency. Overall, Kaylin has a confident approach to playing defense. As a hitter, she uses a square set up with a short stride and keeps her balance centered before making contact to various hitting fields. She shows potential for power and will benefit from implementing a stride and load, driving the hands quickly with a short bat path, utilizing the lower half and bat extension to improve power on contact, ultimately allowing her to access the entire field more efficiently. Overall, Kaylin has a good frame for both positions and solid athletic ability to help aid in her continued development as a player.
