Uncommitted. Physical 6-foot-4, 218-pound frame with strength. Batted seventh and served as the designated hitter for the Lions. The right-handed hitter showed easy barrel strength throughout the game, tallying three hits including a loud double that nearly left the yard in his final at-bat. He demonstrated a patient approach with the ability to fight off tough pitches and use the whole field. His swing works slightly uphill with the ability to generate backspin on contact. An uncommitted name for schools to follow.
