Notes

4/17/25
One of the things I really appreciate from hitters at this level is a sense of urgency at the plate, that “want to hit” mentality where you’re clearly looking to make an impact, and Kaplan brings that mindset to every single at-bat. The senior right-handed hitter went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in the 4th inning, driving in University City’s first run of the game and sparking a late-inning rally. But more than the stat line, it was Kaplan’s tenacious approach that stood out to me. I’m a big advocate for aggressive hitters who trust their ability to swing it, and Kaplan absolutely fits that mold. His swing is simple and efficient, and you can tell he’s comfortable and instinctual in the box. With an athletic stance and the ability to coil into his back hip while loading, he creates solid power potential, and when you pair that with his quick hands, he becomes a serious threat, especially on inside pitches. He can cover multiple zones and punish mistakes. Whether he’s at third, behind the plate, or even in the outfield, Kaplan plays the game with the kind of instincts and intent that stand out. The uncommitted senior continues to prove he can make an impact all over the field.
