Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-9, 137-pounds.
Delivery: Offset, front-facing windup stance. One-step, traditional windup delivery. Stays tall throughout delivery with tall posture. Drives minimal with lower half, utilizes upper half torque for power.
Arm Action: RH. High 3/4 arm slot. Full-circle arm back path. Long, winding release.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-9, 137-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Narrow, balanced lower half. Upper half stays tall with back elbow flared outward. Hands held at ear level. Small leg lift stride. Upper half tilts downward during load. Lands softly on front foot and generates great bat lag.
Arm: RH. INF-70 mph. 3/4 arm slot. Loose, quick release. Minimal recoil. Body follows through after release.
Defense: Steady, progressive steps towards the ball. Utilizes upper and lower half very well.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-10, 140-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Vertical posture with a narrow base and slightly open foot setup, high back elbow with hands set at ear height near the head, barrel tipped over head with angle towards LF foul pole. Hinges at the hips to start load with coil of front shoulder, medium length forward move to launch, hands drop slightly, and rearward to separate from the body. Back knee trigger starts the swing with hips rotating aggressively through the turn, body holds a tilt position at contact with a small scissor of the rear foot. Barrel works inside and below the ball with quickness in the hands.
Power: 86 max exit velocity, averaged 80.5 mph. 269' max distance. Flashes strength at contact for age with a swing designed to produce leverage to middle/pull side, can improve timing - contact points to tap into more consistently
Arm: RH. INF-71 mph. Compact path with elbow leading the hand out of the glove, quickness in the path, can throw from different slots, strong present accuracy with flashes of carry to his throws
Defense: Quick first step with ability to maintain quickness and showing body control, plays with low hips and rhythm, hands are smooth/soft with present feel for timing, more confident playing two-handed at present
ATH: 7.72 runner in the 60.
Knothe is bound for high school to be a part of the San Marcos Royals program, and after a well-rounded showing of athletic ability, INF defensive upside with offensive potential, the Royals are getting a talented young player in the 2030 class. Posting a sound present 7.7 60-yard sprint time, there is quickness off the line for Knothe, which showed up in his defensive workout as he takes a quick first step, showing rhythm into the ball and the ability to play downhill. His hands are sound at present with some confidence to play one-handed, and the arm has present strength (71 MPH INF velocity) for his age, with carry/accuracy from different angles on the field and arm slots. The swing for Knothe is well connected with an uphill path that flashes impact/carry to the pull side of the field when he gets to the bottom half of the baseball. The ball comes off the bat with present authority peaking at 86.4 MPH on the day and averaging over 80 MPH of EV, but he was on top of the baseball more consistently than under or through the ball for carry. The upside is present in the offensive profile as he continues to polish his approach, contact points, and timing to produce his batted-ball angles. With a long-term SS potential profile and a bat that flashes middle to top of the order impact, Knothe is amongst the better names to know of the group entering high school baseball next year on the Central Coast.
