Scouting report
High-contact players often have good-looking swings, but not Kreidler, whose minimalistic, ultra-conservative swing is the baseball equivalent of William F. Buckley. Eyeball reports from instructs crushed Krielder for his lack of athleticism but he does have the best feel for contact in the deep group of unsexy college infielders in this section of the list and he's performed really well in big league spring games each of the last two years. Kreidler's best defensive fit is at third base, but he's fundamentally sound enough to stand at a middle infield spot if needed. A conservative, contact-oriented approach coupled with limited raw power shade the projection toward a bench infield/utility type. (Fall Instructional League)
