The bat & arm strength stand as quality tools for the sturdy, 6-foot-2, 220-pounder. Setting up wide in a strong base, Kidd coils his hips as he gets the front toe down early and launches from behind with explosive bat speed as the barrel works in a lofty manner. There is clear strength at impact and power in the right-handed swing, averaging 90+ as his best bullet left the bat at 101.2. The arm has plenty of strength, reaching 81 from the crouch, with pops in the 2.1 - 2.2 range.
Big framed C that has arm strength with a chance to hit for power. Strong base/wrists w exits near 100. Hits in game. Def - does not move laterally exceptionally well but has strong hands and arm strength. Serv CINF as well. Bat carries
Kidd stands out physically with a strong, 6-foot-2, 220-pound frame and big right-handed power. He creates explosive bat speed from a strong base and tall back elbow, producing a 96 mph max exit velocity and 350-foot peak distance. The barrel works clean on a short, efficient path, and there’s clear juice in the profile. Defensively, he shows above-average arm strength with throws up to 80 mph and pop times ranging 2.00–2.15. The transfer is average, but the arm carries throws. A physical presence behind the plate, he receives with strong hands and wrists, though mobility in the crouch is limited.
