COACH MEGGS ON KANI
"Karl caught our attention the first time we saw him because of how explosive he is on offense and how versatile he is on defense. Offensively Karl puts pressure on the defense the instant he steps in the batters box. He is a plus runner who will be a good fit at the top of the batting order. Karl can play all three infield positions and he would be a good fit on either side of the infield. However the way he runs, he would be electric in center field. Regardless of where we play him, Husky fans will enjoy watching him fly around the bases."
