Tegan Kuhns Stats & Scouting Report

Top Rankings

School: Gettysburg (Pa.) Area HS Commit/Drafted: Tennessee
Age At Draft: 19.2
BA Grade: 50/Extreme
Tools: Fastball: 60. Slider: 55. Curveball: 60. Changeup: 45. Control: 50.

The projection arrows are pointing in the right direction for Kuhns, a Pennsylvania high school pitcher who has some of the best stuff in the 2024 class and should have a lot more in the tank. He’s a lanky, elastic righthander with lots of room on his slender 6-foot-3, 177-pound frame to add weight. Added strength would help amplify a fastball that has been up 97 mph with riding life up in the zone and solid control for his age. Kuhns throws with a long arm action from a higher arm slot and features a bit of trunk tilt toward first base as he delivers to the plate. He was inconsistent this spring with his velocity, at times pitching more in the 89-92 mph range, but he should have a plus heater in the future with a chance for multiple quality secondaries. His best secondary now is a 78-82 mph curveball with spin rates approaching 3,000 rpm with sharp, two-plane biting action. He also has toyed with a slider that has more sweeping shape and has thrown both a changeup and a splitter. The latter has hard dropping action but needs a bit more refinement. Kuhns is old for the class and will be 19 on draft day, and if he makes it to campus at Tennessee he’ll be draft-eligible once again in 2026.

The projection arrows are pointing in the right direction for Kuhns, who has some of the best stuff in the 2024 class and should have a lot more in the tank. He’s a lanky, elastic righthander with lots of room on his slender 6-foot-3, 177-pound frame to add weight and grow a fastball that has been up to 95 mph with riding life up in the zone and solid control for his age. With his arm speed, Kuhns should be throwing even harder once he gets stronger. The separator for Kuhns, though, is his curveball, a pitch he throws with power at 78-81 mph and tight rotation with spin rates approaching 3,000 rpm. It’s a sharp breaking ball that projects to be plus and should continue to be a big swing-and-miss pitch in pro ball. He’s added a slider as well, showing the same innate feel to spin that pitch with tight rotation. Kuhns also has thrown a changeup and a splitter. The changeup has taken a significant step forward, with lively fading action away from lefties, and his splitter is another pitch he has shown feel for and could become a bigger factor for him with more repetitions. Kuhns is old for the class and will be 19 on draft day and a draft-eligible sophomore if he makes it to campus at Tennessee.
