Kurtz is able to produce 9.5 G’s of force with an on-plane efficiency of 85%. Solid fly ball contact with gap to gap power potential; average Trackman exit velocity of 80.38 MPH; peak exit velo was 90 MPH.

Demonstrated solid feel for a physically advanced 6-foot, 200-pound frame with present athleticism in his actions. The right-handed hitter begins with a balanced, even stance utilizing a knee-knock stride to initiate a strong, slightly uphill barrel path into the hitting zone. Generated advanced barrel speed through contact using a physical lower half to create quality hip-shoulder separation yielding natural pull-side lift and loud contact in front of the plate during batting practice. Recorded a 90 mph bat-exit velocity during batting practice while hitting into a stiff front side and ran a 4.59 home-to-first showing off the athleticism he possesses. The primary outfielder featured active feet, arriving to the ball on time while playing low to the ground. A soft glove hand worked through the ball yielding repeatable transfers in stride and an accurate 80 mph arm-strength from his position out of a high ¾ arm-slot. The right-handed pitcher sat 77-78 mph out of a high ¾ arm-slot with natural arm-side run. Mixed in a 70-71 mph curveball thrown with advanced arm-speed while showing 11/5 shape in the zone. Countered with a 68-69 mph changeup at near fastball arm-speed flashing occasional small arm-side fade.
