North Dakota State commit, currently the No. 18th ranked prospect in the state’s senior class, listed at 6-foot-1, 172 pounds with room for added strength. Started at shortstop and hit second, going 1-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored. At the plate, the left-handed hitter swings a smooth bat, working in sync with rhythm staying inside the baseball. Showing increased feel to leverage the ball in the air and tapping into more game power, something that should continue to tick up as he matures into his frame. Defensively, Connor is a quality defender at both spots on the left-side of the infield, showing fluid and athletic actions with some range and more than enough arm strength to play at both spots.

Connor has a projectable wiry lean build standing 6-foot, 170 pounds with a high waist and more fill coming. First, Connor ran a 7.26 second 60 yard dash with an athletic gait. He impressed with the bat showcasing a loose swing with barrel control and the ability to hit line drives to all fields. On the mound, Connor showcased a three pitch arsenal with an athletic delivery and a fastball up to 81 mph.
