Kiel is a tremendous athlete, which isn’t much of a surprise considering his father was a four-year safety with the San Diego Chargers. Kiel is also a talented wide receiver and cornerback for his high school football team and set the Pace Academy career touchdown record in 2023. His explosive athleticism is obvious on the baseball field, where he’s a 70-grade runner and potentially 70-grade defender in center field thanks to his pure speed and ball-tracking skills. Kiel has plenty of strength in his 6-foot, 180-pound frame. While he might only hit 12-15 home runs annually, his ability to drive doubles and triples into the gaps should inflate his slugging percentages. There are some moving parts to his swing with a decent amount of bat waggle in his load and scouts think he looks like a fringe-average pure hitter. Kiel is a switch-hitter, though his swing is better from the right side and he might wind up dropping the lefthanded swing entirely. He’s expected to be a tough sign out of Texas A&M—the same school his father played football at.
