From Banfield: “Justin is a kid we’ve been aware of for some time, and I was able to go see play in Georgia right after the quiet period ended. We were in the market for an older guy who could defend short, and while I was pretty certain he could do that before seeing him live, he really impressed with his ability in the box and on the bases. He turned in multiple sub 4.3 times down the line and has continued to show more juice in his bat than you’d expect. His stat line this spring speaks for itself as he’s hitting over .400 at a D1 JuCo with surprising power and 20 steals. Additionally, he’s a really mature, quality student and on his visit that stood out as much as his 3.8 GPA."
