Personal Statement

From day one, it's always been about baseball. I've loved the game from the first time I stepped onto that field. Now that I'm in high school and college will be here sooner rather than later, all I can think about is putting that school uniform on and proudly representing my university. Not only will being recruited help myself achieve my baseball dreams, but it will help my family more than it could ever help me. I've worked hard in school every year. I've never taken any "years off" in school because it is too important of a matter to ignore. I've taken great pride in the grades I have achieved throughout my academic years. In baseball, I will never disrespect the coach or team I'm playing for. I will show the ultimate respect to my teammates as well. I try as best as I can to surround myself with people who I know will make the right decisions.

The game of baseball has taught me both the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat. I will not make any excuses for mistakes I made, whether it's in school or baseball. I will continuously try to get better at the game every day. Being considered for your school will not only be an honor, but will also be very humbling.


Thank you,

Kyle Sugimoto

  • Positional Profile: C/OF Body: 5-11, 155-pounds. Slimmer athletic build with room to add some strength and mass. Hit: RHH. Unique stance and load. Is slightly open in stance with his hands loose and low over home plate. Starts leaning into his backside early while hands wind back. Uses a slow toe tap trigger as he enters his forward move. Slow and early movements allow for good adjustability in his swing. Consistently on-time and balanced with lower half and hands. Hands/barrel work on a clean path getting on plane early then working up through impact. Was gap to gap throughout his BP round. Two doubles during game action, one to the LC gap and one down the RF line. Power: 89.00 max exit velocity. Rotational acceleration average of 22.3 gs shows good body movement sequencing during swing to maximize power and show a good power ceiling. Current double gap to gap power with potential for more with bat speed gains. Arm: RH. C - 72.00 mph. Showed an accurate arm during throwdowns putting 4/5 on the bag. Arm action is short. Pull Back into scap and gets to release point out in front with easy effort. Defense: 2.05-2.11 pop times. Solid quick footwork on throwdowns. Gets the body into good alignment with 2nd base. Good pitch framing ability. Soft glove that starts low and works up. Mixes up positioning and always stays low into his legs to try and steal low strikes. Run: 7.32 runner in the 60.
  • Camp/Event
  • PBR West Coast Games Showcase
  • 8/13/21 to 8/15/21
  • Kyle Sugimoto had a good overall day for Team Red. Sugimoto squared up three balls across the two games. Has a slow and unique load but consistently on time, finding the barrel more often than not. Also showed well defensively, specifically with receiving and pitch framing. Is real quiet with the glove. Starts with a low glove and gets his thumb under as he works up which allows him to steal low strikes.
