Scouting Report

Assets
  • Kinkade is an extremely disciplined and consistent contact hitter who can crank the ball into the gaps for doubles and bring runners home. He's also got some speed and defensive versatility, able to play behind the plate and in both outfield and infield corners.
Flaws
  • He doesn't have the kind of raw power you like to see in a big-league corner man and, oddly, as a right-handed hitter, he occasionally struggles against southpaws.
Career Potential
  • A solid utility man/pinch-hitter at best.
