ATHLETICS

+ There are a host of California shortstops in the 2023 class, mostly hailing from Orange or Los Angeles County, but don’t leave J.P. Acosta (Buchanan HS, CA) out of the conversation. The Long Beach State recruit has athletic actions to his entire game. He shows bounce in the field, moving with ease, and takes aggressive swings from both sides of the plate. He has an exaggerated leg kick and can drift with his stride, but is routinely on time.
