Kainan Bradford: RHP/SS, (2026) Tusky Valley, OH. 6-foot-3, 175-pound. (64.9 mph bat speed average). (21.9 mph hand speed average). Started in an athletic quiet stance with a controlled load, then used a small leg kick. Bat speed was efficient, used an uphill swing plane and balanced finish. Solid in the infield, his best throw was recorded at 83 mph; showed a natural exchange, sure hands, and consistent feet. Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front. Showed a loose arm action and a high ¾ slot. Clocked a time of 7.51 in the 60-yard dash. On the mound, had a loose arm action and a high ¾ arm angle with consistent arm speed. Drop-and-drive type pitcher and uses some effort. Has slight running action. (Max spin 2039; Avg 1992). Throws a 10/4 slider that has late action. (Max spin 1758; Avg 1717).
