Nick Riordan (‘26, Knoxville Central) Riordan has been making a great name for himself so far in 2024, the shortstop first had an impressive performance at the TN preseason all state in february and has only gotten better. He has been a force to be reckoned with at the top of Central’s batting order, being a spark plug and an extra base hit machine. He collected two hits against West on Wednesday including a leadoff double to start the game. The extremely athletic SS has the makings for some top tier tools, he is already a 7.1 runner, is 90 across the infield, and has mid 70s bat speed. One to keep an eye on the rest of the HS season and on the summer circuit.
