Impressive, well-leveraged left-handed swing with natural loft and game power. Might be able to stick at third base, though mobility may force him to 1B or LF. Hit tool flashes at times, but power potential is carrying profile.

Wes Kath, 3B, CBA Marucci

 

Kath is coming off a strong tail end of the summer as the Arizona native has an easy to like, loose left-handed stroke with already present barrel skill. He’s lean and athletic with lots of room to add strength and posit some serious power upside given the loft of the swing. Kath has a lot of upside and he hit very well in Fort Myers with a .500 batting average and keen discipline as he’s establishing himself near the top of the position group out of the four corners.

8/4/18 - Kath was the lone offensive bright spot for Team AZ on the day, squaring up two balls against upper 80's arms for hard line drives to center and right-center field. Kath didn't look out of place all week as a 2021 grad and is a certain D1 prospect. The projectable-bodied infielder moves effortlessly on the infield and projects for plus arm strength as his body matures. Kath showed off the arm the day prior, making a throw across the diamond from foul territory that showed easy carry and arrived in plenty of time.
