LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2025 Cedar Rapids Red Organizational Scouting Combine
In the circle, Kinley is a right-handed pitcher who throws a fastball, flip change-up, roll drop, and curveball. She has good height and has good push off of the mound. She was hitting 56-57mph consistently. With continued work on more violent wrist snap, she will easily get into the 60's. Her change-up has a good speed differential, running around 42mph. She keeps the change-up low in the zone well. Her dropball has good downward break. The curveball can use tighter spin to generate more break, but she locates it well and will be a great strike pitch for her as she continues to develop. Overall she has a solid foundation to build upon and a high ceiling. Excited to see her meet her potential in the coming seasons!
Defensively, Kinley Nissen is an athletic OF that checked all the boxes during her workout. Fundamentally sound with balls in the airr or on the ground and displayed a strong accurate arm showing good carry.
Offensively, Nissen is a right-handed hitter who has an athletic stance and goes to a nice toe touch before attacking her swing. Because of her toe touch, she stays balanced and controlled, allowing her to drive pitches on both sides of the plate and sit on change-up. She generates good whip with her barrel and has a strong front side resistance. As she continues to grow, she has great power potential. Definitely keep your eye on this one.
