Uncommitted Sophomore OF / 1B Luke Badalato @Lucas_Bad2025 has built off a tremendous freshman season with a big fall. Last spring Badalato slashed 348/449/661 (1.109 OPS) including a Panhandle Conf + postseason only line of 398/500/831 with 10 HRs and 6 2Bs.
2026 Fall slash line 333/444/810 (1.254 OPS) with 3 HRs and a microscopic 3.7% K rate (27 PAs 1K)
Playing mostly RF last year Badalato features a rocket arm and took home a Panhandle Conf Gold Glove in RF but also handles 1B at a high level.
High motor kid who plays the game with a fierceness and tenacity he brings every single day.
Youngest team in the league, we had our struggles early on but this group was relentless and wanted to get better everyday. So proud of this group and what they accomplished this summer! #CashIN
