From Midland, NC just outside of Charlotte, went to Hickory Ridge HS in Harrisburg.

He's 5'7.....could he be our Altuve or Pedroia?! haha (yikes)

Went 3-6 against the mighty Murray States in a game this year.

Historically we do have a bit of a soft spot for undersized second basemen.
Just a guy on the sunshine squad.

I know that it will probably not happen but if We got the Cal 2B and SS that would be wow but I don't see that happening unfortunately but I hope I am wrong

. 697 ops this past season in the acc. But generally we get the SS evaluation correct, so I guess if this is the guy they want, he'll probably be solid.

Just doesn't seem like a flashy get (Advincula would be flashier if Luke can hold down SS)

This kid was his region POY, most likely will be a D2 AA as well and he ends up at NIU. Wild. He was on twitter trying to get any bigger program coach to check him out.

Cole Fowler, who's been mentioned above was also named a region POY, for the south region.

Large human being. Let's grab this guy and find a way to get him to play mediocre corner OF or 3B and I'll feel much better about next year's lineup.

I don't get it.
For him to end up somewhere like that there is more to his game we don't see. Struck out 47 times in 212 AB's vs D2 pitching, might be something or might not be. These types of kids play summer ball with D1 kids so I am sure they are scouted and seen but you don't get passed on by basically everyone but NIU for a reason IMO.

Coach Robinson just followed Campbell best bat

I mean his K% was 19% over 242 PAs. That's considered average, IIRC.

In 2023 duke had the kid from D3 Trinity who was like 6'6 240 and had struck out 61 times (in 255 PAs) against D3 comp. Metz hits just under .300 with 17 bombs for duke, he does end up striking out 72 times tho. haha

I know all players aren't created equal but I'd love to know what it was about this kid that made teams pass.

Yeah it's strange, I wonder if there's something with academics thats causing this with D2 players? Hayden Jatczak was a D2 player of the year in 2024, and I know we had some interest but he ended up going to Kent State (and was subsequently MAC Player of the Year in 2025).
