View Draft Report
Kirsch has had two chances to sign already, as a pop-up prospect out of
high school in Pennsylvania and after his first year with Lackawanna, so
scouts wonder about his desire to play pro ball but can't turn away
from his potential. He has arm strength that can get his fastball up to
92 mph from the left side and he has some projection remaining in his
6-foot-2, 185-pound frame. He also throws a curveball, slider and
changeup, all showing the potential to be average pitches.
