From Banfield: “Austin is the best pure athlete we’ve signed so far, turning in plus times on the bases and having posted a laser-timed 6.45 60-yard dash in high school. He had a solid freshman season offensively at McHenry and will also be able to provide significant value to our program defensively and on the bases. Austin also sports a 4.0 junior college GPA.”
