Standing at 6-foot-3, 190-pounds, Machej looks the part in the IF and at the plate. Throughout the week Machej continuously showed the ability to hit, coming through in a couple big moments for the Dawgs as well. In particular an opposite field 2-run HR to catapult the Dawgs to a 5-3, in a Semi’s which they won 5-4. Then, in the finals came up with a timely bases loaded 2-run double to widen the Dawgs lead and give them some breathing room. A week of timely hits combined with the ability to use the whole field on a line, pairs for a good showing last week from the Illinois State commit.

2024 SS Eric Machej (Illinois State) may not have had the loudest week among a loaded Okotoks roster but was one of their more reliable players with his work at shortstop and timely ability to get on-base with a hit or walk. Machej does a lot of things right on the field and it starts with his confidence up the middle where he was one of the top defensive shortstops in Kamloops. Athleticism throughout his game and it’s evident on the infield and bases. Right-handed hitter and it’s still a gap-to-gap approach and put up quality AB’s throughout the week.
