Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 45 | Run: 55 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 45

It has been a great spring for the Lodise cousins, with Alex (Florida State) and Kyle (Georgia Tech) tearing up the Atlantic Coast Conference and hitting their way into the top two or three rounds. The latter wasn't scouted or recruited much as a Georgia high schooler before spending his first two college seasons at NCAA Division II Augusta, where he slashed .349/.450/.584 with 23 homers and 44 steals. He has posted similar numbers against better pitching as a junior.

A steady right-handed hitter, Lodise has a reasonably disciplined approach and uses the entire field. He hits the ball surprisingly hard for a 5-foot-11, 180-pounder, showing the ability to catch up to high-end velocity and homering over the batter's eye at Clemson in March. He did struggle with wood bats in the Cape Cod League last summer, so he may top out at 15 homers annually in pro ball.

Lodise has solid speed and the instincts to make good use of it on the bases. His baseball IQ also helps him make plays at shortstop, though his average range and arm strength make him better suited for second base at the next level. He might profile best as an offensive-minded utility infielder who also should be capable of handling outfield duty if needed.

Lodise wasn't scouted or recruited much as a Georgia high schooler before spending his first two college seasons at NCAA Division II Augusta, where he slashed .349/.450/.584 with 23 homers and 44 steals. He posted similar numbers after transferring to Georgia Tech this spring, propelling him into the third round of the Draft, where he signed for $922,500. His cousin Alex won the Dick Howser Trophy at Florida State after a similar small college to Atlantic Coast Conference rise and went in the second round to the Braves.
