Scouting Report:
Kayden Porter is the top 2012 draft prospect from the state of Utah. The big righthander has power in his arm and his bat. He has a strong build and looks like a future workhorse on the mound.
Porter has an easy delivery with a high 3/4 arm slot. He has a heavy mid-90′s fastball that gets up to 97. His curve shows good potential and his change is a solid third offering.
While many see Porter’s future on the mound, his bat is not to be overlooked. In terms of raw power, he sits near the top of the list for 2012.
Quotes:
Mountain West Baseball Academy Owner Bob Keyes- “He has two major-league-quality tools. He can hit with power, and he has a unique throwing ability. I think scouts see that arm strength and push him right along to the mound.”
