DalPonte

Uncommitted. Trim, athletic 6-foot, 175-pound frame. Started at shortstop and hit double-leadoff for the Porters. Impressive defender, especially during IO; displaying soft hands with comfortable actions in the move, quality timing through the ball with fluidness in his footwork, quick/clean glove-to-hand transfer. Arm plays with life across the diamond and is accurate to his target, can play from multiple angles and on the move. The right-handed hitter took numerous quality at-bats on the day, showing patience and selectiveness at the plate with two walks, also finding a barrel and lining out to first base. Flat swing, looks to stay on top of the ball and through the zone. Follow middle-infield prospect in the 2025 class.
