Kaden
Allred

Kaden is a young still maturing 15 yr old catcher from powerhouse Bingham HS. Has the type of frame to add 30 lbs in the next 3 years as he continues to mature and strength/size. A bit of a side to side runner, which effects his running gate and leads into his 60 time. Offensively he has a little hand movement out front and uses this as his timing mechanism with his feet for timing. There’s a bit of a bat tip into the load and would like to see him get the knob and barrel into a better 45 degree turn in back, to allow for a better path to the baseball. Looks to be short with his compact stroke, but can leave little room for error right now, as his barrel gets in and out of the zone quickly, creating some some off the end of the bat contact, effecting his metrics. Would like to see him get into a good strength program to strengthen his core and forearms, to increase his hand and barrel speed. Defensively his glove is ahead of his bat right now, which is favorable, being a catcher. He shows educated feet and a clean glove to ball exchange in getting rid of the baseball quickly. Where he will make some strides in his exchange and pop times, is getting his right hand up quicker to his glove to catch with a slightly better two hand exchange. The hand stays low near his right thigh and has a ways to travel to close the distance of getting the ball out quicker. Mild adjustment that is for sure correctable and an easy fix. Has some makings here and his Dad owns a baseball facility, which will give him reps over others.
