Dad’s Take on Kale Fountain

Look at this kid posing like he's already a superstar when he's "messy at 3rd" according to his own scouting report! Standing there in that shimmery uniform looking all confident – maybe spend less time practicing your batting stance for the camera and more time fielding grounders, pal. At 6'5" you'd think he could at least look imposing, but instead he's got that "I just graduated high school last year" baby face that screams "send me back to Triple-A."

SCHOOL BATTING RECORD: 2024 LSU .318 BA .418 OBP .594 SLG .418 OPS. SCOUTING REPORT: Fountain is a big-bodied corner infielder with raw power. He has a strong arm and decent hands at third base. His swing can get long at times, but when he connects, the ball jumps off his bat. He's still learning to make consistent contact, but the tools are there for him to develop into a solid contributor.
