2026 SS Ayden Deome, West Park - University of Arizona Signee
Deome put on about 10lbs of muscle from last season and got back to doing what he does best, winning and performing. The 6’3 SS went 2-3 on the day with two of the loudest barrels of the game. His first hit was a single through the middle of the field, and his next hit was a pull side single, stretched into a hustle double. The main thing I noticed was how calm Deome looked in the box, never once he looked rushed, the rhythm and timing all worked together. Defensively, the work he put in the offseason showed up, things are starting to trend in the right direction on the left side of the infield. Deome didn’t commit any errors, he and Mcneal might be one of the best middle infielders in northern California.
