Branden Kim, Norco (CA), 2026
Positional Profile: SS/3B
Body: 5-9, 152-pounds. medium athletic frame with some strength
Hit: RHH. wider stance with even feet. lower hand set just beyond the back shoulder with bat resting on his shoulder. small shift into the back hip while raising the bat and loading his hands into a forward move. shows natural rhythm and timing with a quick bat. hands are quick and direct with a flatter line drive path that shows consistent feel for the barrel. uses lower 1/2 in the turn with balance and strength through the swing. 67.3 mph bat speed with 11.9 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 91 max exit velocity, averaged 85.0 mph. 257' max distance. the swing is built to drive the ball on a line from line to line with consistent hard contact. will play more as doubles power with pull side lift. Could eventually add more loft to the path and tap into above average power potential.
Arm: RH. INF-75 mph. quick arm action with fluid transfer and good arm speed shows above average potential.
Defense: fluid mover on the INF with good feet, range laterally and downhill, shows rhythm and the instincts to stick as a SS
ATH: 7.34 runner in the 60. shows burst off the line with good body control and explosiveness.
