Focus Area | Comments |
| Fastball: | Kunz threw a heavy fastball that ran up to 94 mph. |
| FB Movement: | He keeps his fastball down in the zone, and it has some above-average sink to it. |
| Slider: | His slider sits in the 80-82 mph range. It's a true slider, with a short, late break and hard bite. |
| Control: | Kunz commanded his fastball and slider well over the weekend, particularly in his second outing, on Sunday. |
| Poise: | Above average. He came into both situations and threw strikes. |
| Physical Description: | Big right-hander who throws from three-quarters arm slot. |
| Medical Update: | Healthy. |
| Strengths: | Command and poise. Kunz comes into games and pounds his heavy fastball to the bottom of the strike zone. He gets a lot of ground balls and his stuff will break bats at the pro level. |
| Weaknesses: | He doesn't have a third pitch to attack left-handed hitters. |
| Summary: | Kunz's package of stuff is well-suited to the back of a bullpen, but the lack of the third pitch may keep him from closing as a pro. His future may be as a setup man who can pound his sinker-slider combination in on right-handed hitters. |
