5-20-14 - Nolan Kingham, RHP, Sierra Vista HS (NV) - With a classic three-pitch mix, great size and athleticism, Kingham has everything you want in a future frontline starter. The 6’-4”, 185 pound right-hander has a fresh arm as he was a shortstop his freshman year, and he has touched 93 mph with his fastball and sits 87-90 mph. He adds a 79-82 mph change-up with good feel and a 73-75 mph tight, 11-5 curveball. Considering how fast he has progressed already, there is a ton of upside and he also has the bloodlines thing going for him as his brother is Pittsburgh Pirates farmhand, Nick Kingham. Committed to Texas. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2015-mlb-draft-25-players/42946#KfGGhgC2ZcQbdBfh.99
PG - Nolan Kingham is a 2015 SS/RHP with a 6-4 175 lb. frame from Las Vegas, NV who attends Sierra Vista HS. Long and loose build, has gained notable strength and coordination in the past few months. Primary shortstop but future clearly on the mound. Short stride delivery with 3/4's arm slot, loose and fast arm, low effort. Fastball topped out at 92 mph with lots of run and sinking action, hard spinning curveball with big depth and hard biting action, very nice change up with plus potential. Has all the ingredients you want to see in a developing first round type pitcher. Right handed hitter, very spread bent knee stance, shifts in well, aggressive swing with pull line drive contact, has some present bat speed and some power projection. Third base profile defensively, shows his arm strength from an over the top release. Brother Nolan is a top pitching prospect with the Pirates organization. Named the top prospect at the event. Good student.
