Whatcom Preps Analysis:

I always love watching a new crop of baseball players get into high school. He was great to watch last year, but his abilities this year were amazing! Always dialed in at the plate, and an aggressive hitter that has a controlled, yet powerful, swing. He will likely be the top second baseman in Whatcom County as long as he stays there. It’s players like him that have me excited for the future. He led his team in doubles, batting average and walks.
