Grand Valley State commit, currently ranked No. 101 in the state’s senior class. Wiry, high-waisted 6-foot-2, 164-pound frame. Got the start at shortstop and batted in the four-hole. Showed quality actions on both sides of the ball throughout the game. The right-hander operated from a wide stance, featuring a high leg lift into a controlled, in-line stride. He displayed loose, rhythmic hands that worked towards a flat path. Kees showed off his bat-to-ball skills in Friday’s game. In his first at-bat, he was able to get the barrel inside on a 90 mph fastball to line a pull-side single to left to get the rally started for DeKalb in the second inning. He later reached base on a sharply hit grounder that resulted in an error. Defensively, Kees flashed quick lateral agility, ranging to both sides to make several tough plays throughout the game.

Grand Valley State commit and ranked at No. 101 in the class. Standing 6-foot-2, 164-pounds with a high waisted frame. Kees got the start on the mound and completed six innings. He has a clean and easy delivery with a medium leg lift and a high ¾ arm slot. His fastball sat 86-89 mph while topping out at 90 mph with life and carry through the zone, complementing that with a curveball sitting between 78-81 mph with sharp downward movement. While he took the loss in this one Kees only allowed one earned run in his final inning of work.

RHP Jackson Kees (DeKalb; Grand Valley State commit) came away a winner from the event. Highly projectable 6-foot-2, 164-pounds, lean limbs with a high waist, plenty of room to add on strength. He works down the mound with a high front side, moving with a tall/fall lower-half and over-the-top release to create angle on all his pitches through the zone, especially his fastball, which played around 85-88 mph with tilt and carry. His curveball plays with some gradual 11/5 shape with the ability to keep it to his glove side, 75-77 mph. Flashed a straight changeup at 81 mph.
