Notes

10/09/24
6-foot-5, 195-pounds, athletic build with room to fill out in the coming years. Up-tempo delivery with a short leg-lift into balance point, works in-line, long and loose arm-swing that plays into a ¾ release, arm-speed out front. The fastball jumps out of the hand at 90-92 mph, playing with finish and nearly 2,400 rpm at its’ peak. Curveball and slider are both quality offerings; CB sat 73-75 mph with tight 11/5 shape and depth, while the SL showed more 10/4 shape at 79-81 mph (T2341 rpm). His changeup looks to be another effective way for him to change the pace, playing in the 81-82 mph range with hard dive at times to his arm-side.

Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-5, 195-pounds.
Delivery: High leg lift, drop/drive, quick, uses full-body, lands towards home.
Arm Action: RH. 3/4, long, loose, repeatable, some effort.
FB: T84, 80-83 mph. Attacks outside, armside run. T2238, 2062 average rpm.
CB: 66-68 mph. 11/5, has depth, effective at the bottom of the zone. T2074, 1879 average rpm.
SL: 66-66 mph. Similar look to the curveball with some depth off an 11/5 plane. T1690, 1690 average rpm.
CH: 75-76 mph. Downer action with fade to the arm-side, plays at the bottom of the zone. T1768, 1725 average rpm.

Uncommitted. Listed at an ultra-projectable 6-foot-5, 195-pounds, high waist with room to add on strength. Slightly up-tempo delivery with a medium leg-swing into balance point, moves well down the mound while staying in-line, repeats somewhat well for size. Arm is clean and loose, playing from a high ¾ slot. His fastball worked in the 84-86 mph range, playing with some life and angle through the zone. He flashed a gradual 11/5 breaking ball at 64-65 mph to pair off the fastball. High-upside right-hander to know.

A young and dynamic two-way 2024, Kaden is going to be an exciting follow for some time. At the plate, although a bit choppy, his swing shows plenty of promise. Physique is strong and lean, hands are quick, and with great repetitions, a bonafide middle of the order guy could develop. From the pitching side, Meeker understands what is going to make him prosperous; that much is apparent from watching him pitch.  A '24 grad who is already 6'4, he releases the ball down the mound very well and from a high arm slot that gives the ball an excellent amount of tilt.  Pair that tilt with his naturally sinking fastball, and that's a recipe for domination.  This big right-hander has plenty of upside, considering how well he moves for his age.  As he gets older, he will move faster and more explosive.  Put Meeker on the watch list in future years to come.
