Michigan State commit. Notre Dame Academy went 2-1 on the week with help from Lozer. At the plate Lozier went 4-for-5 with a triple and two RBIs and five runs scored. Lozier was also a presence on the basepaths using his speed to put pressure on the defense and finding ways to score. 

Lozier gets the most out of his lean 5-foot-10, 155-pound stature, with strength attached to his fast left-handed bat that he’s able lift to his pull-side effectively. His max exit speed reached a 92.1 mph high, and he’s a quick lateral mover, too, which shows on defense where he profiles best at second base, though he flashes the potential to bring real value at the position on defense.

Lozier improved in a couple different areas in a short period of time on Sunday, recording a new personal best 7.02 time in the 60-yard dash, and an exit speed from the left side that climbed up to 92.1 mph – which is up five ticks from the Fox Cities ID. Lozier makes authoritative contact for his size, listed at a wiry strong 5-foot-10, 145 pounds, but he added strength over the offseason and is generally an athletic prospect who plays the game at an uptempo pace.

The left-handed-hitting middle infielder made an aggressive attack to the baseball and shot the ball through the middle of the field repeatedly. On the dirt he traveled low to the ball and worked from right to left gathering momentum and maintaining hop adjustability throughout. He showed quality body control and actions as we’ve seen multiple times from him to this point.

Lozier is a fun-to-watch prospect who plays the game with an infectious energy that translates inside the batter’s box and up the middle of the infield – and he’s progressing well in all facets, too. Adding a little more strength and size appears to have aided his game offensively. He’s always displayed the barrel feel, but at our PBR at The Rock Fall Championships last weekend, Lozier crushed a couple of balls over outfielders’ heads, from whippy bat speed. With quality, athletic actions on defense, an uptick in offensive output would take Lozier’s game to another level, and this weekend was the latest example of that happening.
