Notes

Comments

4/22/26

Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 210 in the state. Lean, athletic 6-foot, 190-pound frame. Batted sixth and played left field for the Bulldogs. The right-handed hitter has barrel strength and a clean, athletic swing with a patient approach at the plate, tallying a double to the left-center gap in his third at-bat. Defensively, he moves well and takes clean, proper routes to the ball, with the actions to stick in the outfield at the next level. An uncommitted name to follow as we move through the spring.
