Joliet JC commit. High-level athlete with an above-average run tool that started in the outfield and hit out of the six-hole for Homewood-Flossmoor in this look against Nazareth Academy. Simple setup at the plate, bat starts rested on back shoulder and tips to a vertical barrel set at load, utilizes a quick leg kick timing trigger, strides short. Jumped on a first-pitch fastball and sent it over the left-center field fence for a solo home run in his first at-bat. Sliced a hanging slider back up the middle in the top of the seventh for an RBI single, igniting a rally for Homewood-Flossmoor that would eventually lead to a victorious outcome.
