Easy gather with directional footwork, he throws with low effort from a high-¾ slot. The right-handed hitter has added a leg kick this fall and it has been working in his favor, allowing his hands to free up with an exit velocity of 92 mph. Easy rhythm with loose hands and explosive lower half transfer allow him to drive the ball and use the whole field, including a triple he legged out during the game. Handled the ball well during the game with soft hands, and relaxed blocking ability, and his throws were accurate between innings.

Really big fan of 2020 C Cole Ketzner (Magnolia HS), besides the fact that he can hit. Ketzner has started to tinker with a leg kick this fall and it looks to be paying off. We have seen him barrel it up on numerous occasions, including Sunday, when he got all up on a ball for a double off the left field wall. The hands are strong at contact with a short path and great extension through the ball, he posted a 92 mph exit velocity. Behind the plate, Ketzner has smooth footwork, quick exchange, easy gather and throws strikes to second base with a top velocity from the crouch of 77 mph and pop times of 2.05-2.08.
