Solid outing from @ActionBaseball 17U White's Tripp Kata (@TrippKata) on the hill at the @FiveToolSTX Summer Finale. The RHP punched out 7 in 4.0 innings, and allowed just one hit.

Tripp Kata (‘27 TX) took the ball again for his squad. Worked 4 innings on 1H and 1ER. FB worked 85-89 w/ some ASR in to RHH. Kept hitters off balance w/ nasty SL 73-78 that has late bite. Good feel to bury it for strikeouts collected 6. #SouthChamp #GoOwls commit

Tripp Kata (‘27 TX) was lights out over 4 innings of work and 5Ks. Motion has a big leg lift and throws from a 3/4 slot. FB was 85-88 living in the zone w/ ASR. Showed a good SL 74-78 with tight spin. Turned over good CH 78-79 w/ good depth. #UBCSouth #GoOwls commit

Two-way 2027 talent has caught our eye repeatedly in the past. A ton of projection as a pitcher and hitter. Profile: fivetool.org/players/9c616d0…

Great team win tonight with the guys. @ActionBaseball @The_CAAdvantage @SavioAthletics
Tripp Kata (‘27 TX) was absolutely dominant across 5 shutout innings w/ 9Ks. FB was 84-87 T88 dotting the edges early in counts. SL was 73-77 w/ good bite & getting lots of whiffs. Showed a CH in the mid-70s w/ good fade & selling it well. #SouthElite @PG_Uncommitted
