The sophomore lived on the barrel Monday evening and would go on to collect 3 2B. Presenting an advanced all-fields approach Markakis put together highly impressive plate appearances all game. Showing tremendous length in-zone with the ability to manipulate the barrel which allowed for the RHH to spray the ball to all parts of the field. As well as showing present bat speed with easy leverage through zone and impact in the barrel to match. A top ranked ‘27 in the state class that had a breakout season last year. Will be a key piece to the offense in the 3-spot while holding loud tools at the plate.
Markakis earned tremendous playing time as freshman for the Tigers this spring with the production to match, and the state semifinals were no different. Displaying a low heartbeat in the box, Markakis has an advanced understanding of the zone and present high-level bat-to-ball skills that have shown in every look this spring. Picked up three barrels on the day including his first career high school home run on a 360+ft. pull-side shot and stand-up double off the wall. The freshman outfielder does a good job both creating separation and transferring weight into a swing that creates easy leverage. Strong arm in RF with a quality run tool and range to match, and has the type of projectable frame at 5-foot-11, 150-pounds to develop into centerfield profile as he matures.
