Wisconsin-Parkside commit. 6-foot, 165-pound, high-waisted, athletic right-handed hitting shortstop. Above-average defender who ranges well and should stick up the middle moving forward. Body control on the move, sure-handed and arm played accurately. Hit in the two-hole. Short, flat swing at the plate, competitive overall approach. 2025 who should have his best days yet to come at the next level.
