Outlook:
This lanky All-Star is a multiple tool player and with the combination of himself and Mr. Downs, they have a knack for keeping games on the light-side. Sturgis can now brag about more than being the home of Tom Bodet; one of their natives is one of the top all-around players in the KWL!

Pitching/Fielding:
His stuff from the bump is nothing but amazing, a true fireballer! Crafty and tricky. He has blaffled many hitters and tossed four shutouts last year. Besides having more strike-outs than Steve Buscemi at a night club, his control can be a bit shaky! When he is not being the King of the Hill, his fielding is great. With legs like a gazelle, he is able to get many very good reads on pop balls and has the hands to bring it in.

Batting:
He may not be the power hitter like some on his team but his hitting is clutch! His Baseball IQ is high and he totally understands exactly what to do in the right situations.

Walk-Up Song: Firestarter - Prodigy
