Performance Analysis

Speed & Agility

Reagan's speed metrics show room for improvement. Her 10-yard split ranks in the middle of the pack, while her home-to-first time and 40-yard split are in the bottom half of participants. The 5-10-5 shuttle time suggests agility is an area that needs focus for development.

Hitting

Reagan demonstrates exceptional hitting potential. Her exit velocity ranks 5th out of 112 participants, and her bat speed is particularly impressive, ranking 2nd overall. The high peak hand speed (13th rank) indicates good mechanics and power generation in her swing.

Arm Strength

With a throwing velocity ranking 57th out of 112, Reagan's arm strength is average for the event. There's potential for improvement in this area to complement her pitching skills.

Pitching

Reagan shows consistent rankings across her pitching metrics, generally placing in the top 20% of participants. Her fastball and curveball velocities are identical at 59mph, which is unusual and may indicate a need for greater differentiation between pitches. The spin rates for her fastball and curveball are competitive, ranking 16th for both. Her changeup, while slower as expected, could benefit from improved spin rate differentiation from her fastball to increase effectiveness.

Overall Assessment

Reagan Kearns demonstrates significant potential as a pitcher and hitter. Her standout hitting metrics, particularly in bat speed and exit velocity, suggest she could be a dual-threat player. As a pitcher, she shows consistency across different pitches but coul
