COACHES COMMENTS:
Preston is a highly intelligent 2017 grad out Lassiter High School. He 3B/SS/RHP who is also a very physical baseball player. Defensively, Preston is a very good INF. He has soft hands and good footwork, creating consistent hops for himself. He never seems to be in a rush and makes infield look easy. He can play all 3 INF spots and is confident everywhere. On the mound, Preston pitches with confidence and 3 very effective pitches. He throws from a low ¾ slot and his FB has very good depth. He commands it well to both sides of the plate. He throws a CH to both RHHs and LHHs and has a very good feel for it. His breaking ball keeps hitters honest as he throws it in all counts. Preston is a high level academic kid and he will have the opportunity to better many collegiate programs on the field and in the classroom.
Preston has committed to play college baseball with Birmingham-Southern College.
