Kaelen Culpepper - Prospect Profile

Baseball America - July 1st: "He has solid contact skills, but is a better fastball hitter who will need to sharpen up his bat-to-ball skills against secondaries. Culpepper has a tweener defensive profile and is likely an above-average third baseman."

MLB.com - July 1st: "A right-handed hitter, Culpepper has a disciplined approach that prioritizes making consistent contact and using the entire field. He has well-above-average bat speed and enough strength to produce average power, yet he has a flat swing and rarely drives the ball in the air."

Ayrton Ostly - USA Today - July 4th: "A consummate glue guy on the left side of the infield, Culpepper has both pop and speed, neither elite but also an excellent package for this end of the first round."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - March 18th: "Culpepper’s defense has earned solid reviews after sliding to shortstop from third base. He has more than enough pure arm strength for the position and he’s an impressive athlete so he could continue to improve with more reps."

Joe Doyle - Future Star Series - March 18th: "While Culpepper may not have a specific carrying tool, he does a lot of things average or a tick above and his athleticism points toward untapped upside across his game. He boasts solid average exit velocities and has a chance to hit for some power with a hit tool that feels unrefined and on the come up."
