February 2017Personal Statement
From a young age, baseball has been my passion: My goal being to play baseball at the college level. Because of my desire, and respect for the game- getting up at the early hours and spending the extra time has never come hard for me. To me, it’s a privilege rather than a burden to go the extra mile and fulfill my responsibility to my teammates- to become the best version of myself possible both on and off the field.
I also take my academics very seriously. I believe that being a multidimensional person is not only important in life, but on the field as well and I am equally as driven in the classroom as am on the field. Therefore, a great college education is very important to me.
I pride myself in bringing life to a team and providing strong leadership. Additionally, I have had great coaches early in my life who taught me how to play the game the right way. When I step out on to the field, I play with respect to the game and leave it all out on the field. I'm not afraid to get dirty, or to give 110% even when I'm feeling beat up. I do everything I can to help create a productive environment- and whether that means picking up a teammate if they are having a bad game or keeping a positive attitude when it’s not my day; I always have the team in mind. I will always do whatever it takes to improve myself as well as the team. Because of these qualities, I believe I can make an impact on any team.

- Scouting Report- Kyle is a talented SS/RHP prospect who is well-built and graduates in 2019. In the field, Kyle plays with fluid, active footwork and takes the correct angles to cover good ground. He presents his glove and fields the ball athletically in a low, square position. Kyle receives the ball with soft hands and he has a clean exchange leading into a short arm action throwing from a 3/4 arm slot. He plays with momentum through his release and has consistent accuracy with his throws. Offensively, Kyle has a square setup with a centered balance. He has smooth rhythm with a good load and square stride as his lower half leads his swing. He has an on-plane swing path producing square contact. Kyle uses his lower half and he can spray the ball to all fields. On the mound, Kyle has a balanced, on-time delivery throwing with a clean arm action from a low 3/4 slot. He stays square to home plate with a controlled landing as he rotate with his core towards his target. Kyle pitches with good rhythm and competes. He features a fastball, curveball, and changeup. Overall, Kyle has a bright future on the diamond and the ability to impact a program in multiple areas of the game.

- Scouting Report- Kyle is a strongly-built SS/RHP prospect who is willing to do whatever it takes to get better. He shows athletic actions at short, fielding the ball cleanly and smoothly to make all the plays, the hallmark of a good middle infielder. He has quick feet and takes efficient angles to the ball to extend his range, fielding low and playing through. His hands are soft and has a clean exchange while gaining momentum to his target to throw accurately and keep runners off the bases. On the bump, he pitches aggressively, trying to work ahead in the count with his tailing fastball. His delivery is repeatable with sound mechanics as he picks up his target early and drives to the plate with a strong lower half, keeping the ball low in the zone. Staying directional to the plate in his finish will lead to better command moving forward. At the dish, he shows gap to gap tendencies with a square stride and direct path to the ball. His strong wrists generate fast bat speed and he makes consistent, square contact, finishing on a firm front side. Kyle�s blend of tools and gamer mentality make him an exciting prospect for the next level.

- Scouting Report- Few players show the coachability, and love for the game that Kyle does. A two way player, Kyle in the field shows all the traits of a solid defensive second baseman. Starting with his active footwork and ability to work through all types of groundballs, Kyle gets himself into good position to field anything within his plus lateral range. On the mound, Kyle is a true battler, constantly being aggressive and pitching ahead in the count. Repeating his easy delivery, showing good balance, rhythm, stride and finish allows Kyle to use his fastball and curveball early and often in the count to throw effective strikes. Last but certainly not least, as a hitter he uses his short/compact swing, through a great setup and an on time load, to drive the ball to the opposite field. Kyle, while an underclassman, acts and plays like a seasoned veteran. He will be very exciting to track as he progresses in baseball.
