Wisconsin-Platteville commit. 6-foot-1, 189-pound, physical, well-proportioned, right-handed hitting third baseman. Had a big game out of the plate from the five-hole. Finished 3-for-5 with a grand slam to deep left field, five RBIs and two runs scored. Confidence and intent in the box has ticked up since last spring. Strong hands, creates leverage and looks to use the big part of the diamond. Yet another imposing bat in the Warriors lineup.
