6/12/24

Verbally committed to Evansville.

6/05/24
Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 134 in Illinois’ junior class. Stands in an athletic 6-foot, 185-pound frame with seemingly more to come. Started at shortstop and batted seventh. Baftiri stood out in IO, showing quality actions up the middle with fluid footwork, soft hands and a clean glove-to-hand transfer - ranges to both sides with athleticism. Right-handed hitter at the plate, hands are short to the ball, showed strong hands and created easy bat speed; finished the day 1-for-2 with one RBI, one run scored. An uncommitted follow in the state’s junior class.
5/03/24

Uncommitted. Athletic 6-foot, 185-pound frame with room to add on strength. Started at shortstop and finished the day 2-for-3 with a home run at the plate. Natural defender on the infield with soft hands, comfortable on the move to both sides of his glove. Confident presence in the box, has intent in his takes, simple swing that gets the front foot down early, flat path through the zone with jump to the pull-side. Uncommitted 2025 prospect to know in the state.

3/16/24

Uncommitted. 6-foot, 185-pound, athletically-built, right-handed hitting shortstop. Stood out early in the game when he ranged to his glove side and dove to snag a hard ground ball. Got to his feet, stepped on the second base bag and threw to first base to complete the highlight-reel double play. Also, finished 1-for-1 at the plate with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and hit-by-pitch in his second at-bat. Singled in his final at-bat to right-center field. Middle infielder to follow moving forward.

7/13/23

Bafitri showed off his defensive prowess on Thursday, making multiple impressive plays. Moves well to both sides with a smooth glove-to-hand transfer. Feet work well and the arm works athletically. Also showed the ability to throw across from multiple arm slots. Offensively, Bafitri flashed a high offensive ceiling. Short and simple swing that made hard contact multiple times using an all-fields approach. A sure-handed defender up the middle who will be exciting to watch as he develops offensively.
