    Kingsbury has been compared to big league outfielders Dave Dellucci and Steve Finley in both physical appearance and approach. He has offensive potential, life in his body, solid instincts for center field and plays hard. His best tool is his bat, though not all scouts are sold on his power. He was the Atlantic-10 Conference player of the year this season after hitting .380-12-43 and compiling a .749 slugging percentage. A balanced hitter, he uses the whole field and is tough to fool. Kingsbury, an Ohio high school product, has designs on going as high as the second round, but that may be a stretch unless a scouting director saw him on the right day.
