Uncommitted. The number 5 player in the class of 2027 had himself a game on day 2 of GA Dugout Club against Savannah Christian. He was off to a hot start by launching a ball into the trees at 103EV, giving the Eagles an early 2-0 advantage. He gets his whole body into the swing and smoothly works through the zone with the hands. With a slight hand load, he stays connected throughout, producing easy pop. In his next AB he was up to more of the same, finding another barrel between the 5-6 hole at 96EV. His next two AB’s proved to be a tough out. As Aufderheide continues his hot streak, his name keeps growing in popularity for uncommitted outfielders. At 6-foot-1, 200-even, he is a solid option anywhere in the OF with his 6.64 speed. Big things ahead for the Junior as region play shapes up this upcoming week.

One of the top ranked players in GA for the ‘27 class. The sophomore would show off the strength in the physical, athletic 6-foot-2, 205-pound frame. As he would connect with one and send it out over the left-center field fence for a loud 2-run HR. Holding quiet, simple actions while maintaining excellent balance throughout, Aufderheide shows obvious feel for the barrel. The ability to turn on the baseball with carry to the pull-side stands out with above-average bat speed flashing in a really well-leveraged swing. Aufderheide really looks the part in all facets when on the diamond as high-level tools litter the profile.
