About Kyla
Expert Analysis
Benjamin Rosenberg | Prep Softball Scout
Kyla Paul played varsity softball as a seventh grader, and while her numbers weren’t eye-popping, they show that she already belonged at that level, as she got on base more than half the time with an impressive 1.075 OPS in 21 games. Paul’s bat speed is immediately apparent — she can send the ball over the fence with barely more than a flick of the wrists. She hunts pitches on the outer half of the strike zone and even slightly off the plate, with her ability to extend her arms and still find the barrel. Paul fields her position exceptionally well behind the plate, leaping out of her crouch to pounce on swinging bunts, then spinning and firing a perfect strike to first base. She is just as good defensively at the corner infield spots, and is an accomplished student as well.
