Verbally committed to Northern Illinois.

6/09/23

Northern Illinois signee. 5-foot-11, 175-pounds with lean strength and athleticism throughout, fills out a uniform nicely. Started at shortstop and hit seventh for Edwardsville. Premium defender at shortstop, covers ground effortlessly with soft funnels, a quick release, and the arm strength to stick on the left side at the next level. Performed plenty offensively throughout both days at state; homered and drove in four in the semi-final, had a clutch double in the state championship game. Level bat path with some length through the zone, stayed on plane and found the barrel often to the pull-side. Also an above-average runner with borderline plus run times out of the box. Was a catalyst in Edwardsville capturing the 4A state championship this spring. 

2/26/22

Positional Profile: SS/OF
Body: 5-11, 175-pounds. Athletic frame
Hit: RHH. Balanced, slightly open setup, toe-tap stride. Easy, balanced swing. Loose hands. Flashed bat strength. Occasional hard contact to the pull-side.
Power: 90.5 max exit velocity, averaged 83.5 mph. 293’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 82 mph. Quick, loose arm action. High 3/4 slot. Throws play with carry.
Defense: Quick, lateral movements. Soft hands, clean exchange.
Run: 7.02 runner in the 60.

5-foot-10, 155-pound, well-proportioned, right-handed hitting infielder. Played a steady infield, mostly at third base throughout the weekend for GBA. Clean actions, sure-handed and arm played accurate with enough strength for the left-side of the diamond. At the plate, open, quiet setup, stride works back to square. Direct path, pull-side tendencies. Follow 2023 infielder.
