Hitting

Overall, one will walk away extremely impressed with Geoff Killen power potential and the type of contact he makes. The ball tends to jump off his bat. On fly balls, it seems his ball carries a little further than everybody else’s. He has excellent hand-eye coordination that allows him to consistently square upon pitches. That said, he’s still working to become a more patient, and a more disciplined hitter at the plate. His contact rate actually isn’t too much of a concern, but he needs to get that walk rate up.

Base-Running & Defense

No one will deny that Geoff Killen is a tremendous athlete with strong fundamentals and terrific instincts. He ranks among the game’s smartest players, and his intelligence shows on the bases. He makes good decisions and runs well with having exceptional speed. Killen is a plus middle infield defender with a very strong arm. He’s light on his feet, and possesses terrific footwork. He is, however, working on some of the intricacies of back-handling grounders up and through the middle of the field, where he’s still learning how to read the reactions of batted balls.
