Exploded on the varsity scene last year with an outstanding offensive and defensive season. All-league performer hammered the ball at a .400 pace with 17 RBI in his 36 hits. Played outstanding defense at shortstop, and has made dramatic improvements in his size, strength and skills for 2005. Two-sport star has the speed to play the middle infield evidenced by his 7 steals and should add more on-base opportunities with his bunt game and offensive skills.
