KYLE LODISE, INF - Georgia tech
Prospects
Live Ranking - #72
Regarded
as one of the more notable transfers this recent cycle, Kyle Lodise shifted
from Division II Augusta University to join Georgia Tech. He was arguably the best hitter in the Peach
Belt Conference in 2024, slashing .369/.498/.693 with 14 home runs. A twitchy athlete, Lodise can play anywhere
in the infield. He’s a great defender,
quick to react to the baseball, and maintains a strong internal clock while
doing so. A plus runner as well, Lodise
stole 44 bags in 50 attempts during his two-year career at Augusta. Over this past summer, Lodise played with the
Chatham Anglers in the Cape. In 37
games, he finished with a .239/.394/.358 line with seven extra base hits. The key question regarding Lodise is whether
he can consistently adapt to the quality of pitching in the ACC. If so, he and
Drew Burress could formulate one of the most feared tandems in the ACC.
After two
years playing the shortstop position at Augusta University — where he committed
during his senior year with Brunswick High — Kyle Lodise put his name into the
transfer portal after the Jaguars season ended a few weeks ago.
Winning
the 2023 Peach Belt Conference Freshman of the Year, Lodise topped his freshman
year on the diamond with a sophomore season by hitting .369, accumulating 27
extra-base hits, 14 home runs, 49 runs batted in, and 24 stolen bases.
Earning
second-team Peach Belt Conference honors for the second consecutive year,
Lodise put his name into the transfer portal and announced his commitment to
play baseball for Georgia Tech for the upcoming season.
With his
two seasons at Augusta, Lodise is expected to make an instant impact for a
Yellow Jacket side that is the No. 3 seed in the Athens Regional as they
finished the season with a 31-23 record.
Lodise looks good, for a team that needs a SS.
