Krause provided an interesting look at the plate in their Sunday morning game—taking over the leadoff spot with a 2-for-2 performance, doubling twice. Quick hands, quality feel for the barrel in a 5-foot-6, 120-pound frame. Patient hitter with the ability to adjust to offspeed pitches, doing so effectively on Sunday. Solid speed on the basepaths as he continues to develop into his prep career—enjoying a strong start to his summer on the diamond. Smooth hands, fluid footwork at the shortstop position with a developing arm.
