Kyle DeBarge - Prospect Profile

Baseball America - July 1st: "While the home run surge was encouraging, and a result of hitting the ball in the air much more frequently than his first two seasons, DeBarge stands out more for his hand-eye coordination and excellent bat-to-ball skills. He posted an excellent 85% overall contact rate throughout his Lafayette career and that rate jumped to 93% on pitches inside the zone."

MLB.com - July 1st: "An elite contact hitter, DeBarge recognizes pitches extremely well and rarely chases out of the strike zone or swings and misses. His right-handed stroke is quick, compact and flat, designed to put the ball in play so easily that it does cut into his walk totals."

Joe Doyle - Future Star Series - March 18th: "He's got extremely quick hands and shoots the ball to all fields making tons of contact. It's a super-balanced profile at the plate with potential impact at the next level, though he'll have to drastically lower his ground ball rate to take advantage of what he does well offensively."

MLB.com - March 8th: "An elite contact hitter, DeBarge recognizes pitches extremely well and rarely chases out of the strike zone or swings and misses. His right-handed stroke is quick, compact and flat, designed to put the ball in play so easily that it does cut into his walk totals. "
