In a star-studded Cathedral lineup, Daniels still managed to stand out and catch attention. Hitting out of the 7-hole, the junior outfielder proved he could handle his own in a competitive matchup against Saints. Daniels finished 1-for-3 on the day, sitting back on a curveball for a well-struck single, and added a loud flyout to left after squaring up a low-90s fastball—highlighting his ability to make quality contact against velocity. Daniels features a compact swing and has started to heat up at the right time with playoffs approaching. His composure at the plate is evident, showing mature pitch-to-pitch adjustments and a calm, focused approach. The twitchy athlete offers significant defensive versatility and looks capable of playing anywhere on the field. He showcased his arm strength in the top of the 5th inning, throwing out a runner from the outfield to keep the game tied—a momentum-shifting play. With a strong, athletic frame and room to continue filling out, Daniels is an exciting utility player to follow. His upside and competitive edge make him a player to watch heading into his senior season.
