Mercer commit. The 2024 6A All-Region SS was on full display this weekend. Buffone showed maturity at the plate with confidence, and demanded good pitches with a disciplined eye. Buffone hit two balls off the wall in left-center field on Sunday afternoons game, both burned the left-fielder with a 93+ exit velocity on both knocks. A tall, lean, strong frame helps with his easy power to all fields, hard contact, and has an accurate feel for the barrel. Proves himself to be a vocal leader in the dugout and on the field. Already ranked number 10 at SS in the state of Georgia for his class. Had a tremendous spring for Houston County, and is no-doubt going to improve throughout the summer.

The two Sport (Baseball and Soccer) Mercer Commit has had a strong Junior year for Houston County. Buffone is real athletic at SS Making the tough plays look easy. Offensively, Buffone is a consistent hitter and shows patience at the plate with good feel for the zone. Buffone is a strong gap to gap hitter with a quick barrel through the zone. Buffone is a big time competitor and will look to lead Houston County back to the State Championship.

Uncommitted. 6-foot 160-pounds. Buffone has been a favorite at SS this spring. He has stepped up on one of the best teams in the state, and has been a key part of their success. He is a smooth defender with a strong arm, and makes all the easy plays. Turned a couple double plays Tuesday night, and had clean, textbook transfers.  Love the way he comes in on the ball, and can throw it from all arm angles. He is a key contributor at the bottom of the Bears line up. He can drive in runs, get guys over or get on base to help turn the line up over. He has a simple approach and a great eye. He had a double in the gap that nearly left the yard. Buffone is a gamer, and can step up in the big moments.

6-foot 160-pounds. Buffone will be one of the most athletic kids on the field every time he crosses the lines. He moves effortlessly at SS, and has long athletic strides on the base paths. He battled in the scrimmaged against 2 of the top arms in the state. He got  his first hit of the year against Lowndes with a single up the middle. The swing from the right side is simple and compact with a short stride and strong finish. He will also be a hit machine along with Gann in the bottom of the Bears line up. Buffone will be a high follow this summer after he gets a high school season under his belt.
