Whatcom Preps Analysis:

Plays the hot corner unlike any other in the county. He attacks the baseball defensively, and has a rifle for an arm when throwing across the diamond. He also pitched in key games throughout the year. Another one of those players that wants to swing the bat in the batter’s box. Not interested in taking a walk, but also doesn’t strike out very much. He led his team in hits and runs batted in. Another one of the big-time leaders of the Lynden program.
