Kapuscinski has big bodied, strong build at 6-foot-3 215-pounds. At the plate, sets up in a wide stance and in a crouch with hands and bat just above back shoulder. Uses a small leg lift and stride to start swing. Small hand load – hands go up and back. Elbows rise and flatten out somewhat before he starts swing. Easy mechanical fix that can produce even more power.

Kapuscinski is strong bodied at 6-foot-2 215-pounds. Still growing into body, but already has signs of major power potential. Offensively, setup is wide and in a slight crouch. Hands are loaded prepitch, with weight mostly on his back leg. Small weight transfer and a toe tap for a load, but otherwise very quiet in his stance. Generates power from quick hips and hands. Occasionally wraps bat around his head, causing hands to cast away from body. Easy mechanical fix as he continues to mature. High follow prospect.

Kapuscinski stands 6-foot-2, 215-pounds with an above average build for a player his age. Already signs of advanced feel behind the plate with above average arm-strength and pop-times hovering the 2.0 mark. We saw him with Baseball U at the WWBA this past fall, where we left impressed by the freshman's bat-strength and arm. Next-level backstop to closely follow.
