Kai Francis is a 2021 RHP/1B with a 6-2 170 lb. frame from Bainbridge Island, WA who attends Bainbridge HS. Lean athletic build, very projectable physically. Very high leg lift and tuck delivery, long extended arm action coming through to a 3/4's arm slot, has good direction to the plate, low effort delivery he repeats very well. Fastball topped out at 81 mph, lots more there as he physically matures, gets hard late run and sink that creates ground balls. Gets the same type of action on his change up. Works mostly fastball/change up and is still developing feel for a rare curveball. Right handed hitter, starts with his hands low and has a quick and short swing with present bat speed, ball comes hard off the barrel from a line drive swing plane, has a chance to develop as a two-way player. Very good student.
