KJ Anderson (‘27, Cookeville) The ‘27 freshmen is a player who has already accomplished a lot in his young career. Anderson is a two time member of Team Tennessee at the Junior Futures games (22/23), is the everyday catcher and middle of the order bat for the varsity squad, and is a top ten player in the state. All before completing his freshman year, and he is only getting started. The left handed bat would have the top exit velocity at the TN preseason all state. Beating out some of the top ‘24/5s in the state. On Friday against Lebanon he would open the scoring with a fielder's choice rbi, and also lined out loudly to left. Brings a developed presence and authority to the field who will be a top watch in the class going forward.

5-foot-9, 170-lb proportional frame w/ some strength and square hips. LHH balanced, slightly crouched stance w/ short, simple load and gets on plane early. Generates above average bat speed and controls the barrel thru contact. Middle approach, above average pop for age (T 86.4), w/ future projection. Defensively, still a bit raw behind the plate, but shows signs of upside as he develops. Sounds receiver w/ good hands, but slower transfers and average arm strength w/ solid accuracy (67 C Velo: 2.34 Pop). 8.55 runner.
