The 2023 Junior Future Gamer looks noticeably different from a few short months ago. The actions in the field are smooth and effortless. The lower half has really developed, helping him blend in at the varsity level. He is going to be a key guy for Marietta going forward. The swing keeps him on time, and has a great bat path leading to consistent contact. Looking forward to seeing Whiteside develop, he can stick anywhere on the infield with the premier glove for his age.
