LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 Sunshine Southeast Showcase
Kayden Noel is a 2025 RHP/1B with a 6-1 220 lb. frame from Mount Juliet, TN who attends Green Hill. Larger, physical frame with strength in the upper half. Primary right-handed pitcher, full windup with side step to belt high leg lift, coil at the top and hide it well behind his body, high three-quarters slot release that produces some downhill action on his mix. Got the four seam fastball up to 84-mph and sat in the low 80's throughout the appearance, lived well in the bottom half of the zone but got relatively flat on occasion. Mixed in solid low 70's curveball with sharp downer action in due part to the high slot, good feel to work this low in the zone and in the dirt as a waste pitch for whiffs and as an out pitch, much more effective when located downstairs. Mix tunneled well when controlling the zone for strikes, held velo in the stretch, peppered the glove side with comfort throughout. More velo is in there with improvements to the body, arm works well and has a feel to pitch. Good student.
