Kyle throws predominatly a two seam fastball. He relies on movement with this pitch to get hitters out. He has focused on a sinker over the past 6 months which is coming along nicely. his sinker has late sink and tends to move in to RHH. Confidence is coming with this pitch and I would expect Kyle to be able to throw his sinker in to LHH with confidence by this Spring. I project Kyle to gain 2-3 mph this winter primarily because of gained strength.

Kyle throws this pitch once in a while. He will continue to work on it to get a sharper break.

One of Kyles best pitches. It has late break and bites hard in to RHH. This is already a college level pitch. Kyle can throw it for strikes 80% of the time and once he realizes how to set it up could be his out pitch at the higher levels.

Kyle started working on this pitch about a year ago. It has come a long way since then. The break on this pitch is 3-6 inches from right to left and really does help him keep LHH honest. At times he doesn't throw the pitch enough. Kyle's focus this summer will be to realize when LHH are cheating over the plate-focusing on his sinker- and try to come inside on them.

This winters focus for Kyle will be to keep a strong wrist/finger position on top of the baseball. He tends to get into trouble when his fingers get behind the the ball. Once he feels consistency with this part of his delivery and then executes I see him being dominant at the high school level. Kyle has a nice loose and relaxed arm action with good arm speed.  
       
Kyle Sanderson [ Pitcher ] Overall Rating

At this present time I see Kyle as a high 7 on the scale. His improvement has been very quick and I would say he will be at an 8 very shortly. He has a great demeaner on the mound which really helps relax him when he is confronted by adversity.

Kyle's comittment to the weight room will most definetly help with his overall strength.

Kyle is also a starting 3rd basemen with solid defensive ability and can hit with gap to gap power(wood bat).
