Kyle Teel - Prospect Profile

MLB.com - May 19th: "A left-handed-hitting backstop, Teel has the chance to hit for average and power, though he’s gotten caught a bit in between trying to be a hitter with some pop or a power guy. He was more hit over power in high school, but he has been trying to show off the pop more, perhaps a reason why he hit just .276 in 2022, though he’s found the right balance this spring."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - May 11th: "The clear-cut best college catcher in the class has been on a rampage all season. He’s hitting .423/.482/.665 with nine home runs and 20 doubles and he has lowered his strikeout rate to 9.2%—though he was never a huge strikeout guy in the first place."

Jim Callis - MLB.com - May 4th: "In a down year for catchers, Teel has really helped himself by improving tremendously at the plate (.423/.482/.665 following a .276/.402/.439 sophomore season) while maintaining quality arm strength and athleticism behind it."

Prospects Live - April: "He's one of the most proven ACC bats in this class, with the potential to hit for both average and power and he very rarely strikes out. It's excellent plate discipline. He's got the tools to stay behind the plate and his athleticism really stands out. Should he move off catcher, he's likely destined for either third base or a corner outfield spot."
