Scouting Report - RHP - Ben Kudrna

RHP 6-4 195 Blue Valley SW HS (KS)

Ben Kudrna, RHP, Reds Midwest Scout Team

 

Kudrna’s start at WWBA was an especially important one as a cold-weather prep arm, and he was solid in his outing, working up to 93 mph and showing flashes of above-average secondaries in a slider and changeup. An LSU commit who has been on the rise for over a year now, Kudrna will have an important spring ahead, and with further refinements could rise boards further.

Ben Kudrna is a 2021 RHP with a 6-3 195 lb. frame from Overland Park, KS who attends Blue Valley Southwest. Big and strong athletic build with plenty of room to get stronger. Pretty clean delivery with an extended 3/4's arm slot, ball comes out of his hand easily, really gets out front well. Fastball topped out at 93 mph, more there with additional strength, has an advanced ability to work in and out already with his fastball. Change up is a polished pitch with feel and arm speed, has confidence in the pitch and can spot it. Short breaking slider has flashed potential in the past. Very projectable right hander who will keep improving.

Ben Kudrna, RHP, Blue Valley Southwest (Kan.) -- The 6-foot-4 LSU recruit offers a ton of projection to his frame to go along with a 91-93 fastball, a low-80s slider and a mid-80s changeup that’s a bit firm. He has a loose arm and clean delivery, filling up the zone with all three pitches during two hitless innings (three strikeouts).
