Kaufman is a 5-foot-11, 180-pound two-way player who we like better on the mound. Coming from a high ¾ arm angle, he showed some good rhythm with short arm action and easy effort, while throwing all three pitches for a strike. Kaufman’s fastball topped at 80-mph with some late arm side run and sink. He also threw a 64-67 mph breaking ball with gradual 11-to-5 break and a 62-65 mph changeup with some depth. In the infield, Kaufman showed to be a consistent fielder with a quick exchange and accurate throws, recording a top throw of 74-mph. Offensively, Kaufman has along stride and big load, with an uphill swing path. With a shorter stride and keeping his weight back a bit, Kaufman should be able to be a consistent hitter with some power potential due to his strong lower half.
