Aidan is a talented and hardworking 2025 2-way player. At SS, Aidan is on time with his pre-step, reads the ball off the bat well, and presents a low/early glove. He works from the ground up, has a clean exchange, and throws from multiple arm angles. At the plate, Aidan starts in an athletic stance and loads his hands back into the drive position. He uses his lower half, stays compact, and creates backspin on the ball. He stays balanced through contact and is a line drive hitter. On the bump, Aidan gathers over the rubber, separates on time, and extends thru his delivery. He works north to south and commands the bottom half of the zone.
