2019 14U West Showcase
Jimmy Kanaley is a 2024 C/RHP, 1B, 3B with a 5-7 135 lb. frame from Huntington Beach, CA who attends Huntington Beach. Young, square shouldered frame with a lean, projectable build and room to grow throughout moving forward. Ran a 9.27 60-yard dash. Primary catcher, begins with a lower set up behind the plate, receives the ball out front, deliberate actions coming out and can quicken footwork, tight release on throws and arm strength will continue to develop. Fields the ball out front in the infield, gets low behind the ball, compact arm action on throws and occasionally gets uphill with release, showed ability to drop slot with intent. Lefthanded hitter, begins with a high hand set and back elbow in the box; utilizes a leg lift trigger for timing at the plate. Employs a contact oriented approach, gets downward with path at times but best contact when working on a linear plane, subtle weight shift through lower half and projects with additional transfer. Keeps hands inside and stays short through the zone, worked to all fields. Excellent student.
