BA Grade: 50/High
Lodise was the ACC player of the year after a breakout 2025 season in which he hit .394/.462/.705 with 17 home runs and 18 doubles. Lodise has a lean, athletic frame at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds and employs a simple setup with a slightly crouched stance and an ear-high handset. He’s a good mover in the batter’s box and does a nice job getting into his back hip and using his lower half, which leads to exciting power upside and plenty of hard-hit balls. He can drive the baseball to all fields, though his highest quality of contact goes to his pull side with above-average raw power. Lodise is an aggressive hitter who might wind up with a power-over-hit offensive profile simply because of how much he swings and how frequently he expands the strike zone. Lodise chased at a 36% clip in 2025 and swung the bat more than half the time. He’ll get trigger-happy on elevated fastballs and will also need to sharpen his pitch recognition to more quickly recognize spin out of the pitcher’s hand. Lodise is a strong and powerful athlete in the dirt who has shown enough to give himself a chance to stick at shortstop. He’s not the typical fluid, graceful mover at the position, but he has impressive lateral range to go with a plus arm that has led to a handful of highlight reel plays from deep in the hole. He attacks the baseball and can throw from multiple slots. He’s an average runner.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 55 | Run:50 | Field: 50 | Arm: 60.

A transfer from North Florida, Lodise enjoyed a productive first season in Tallahassee and hit .281/.363/.470 with 23 extra-base hits and 44 RBIs. He has present bat speed and borderline above-average power to the pull side. Lodise’s game clock has improved mightily at shortstop, where he is comfortable attacking the baseball and throwing from multiple arm angles. An improved approach and pitch recognition skills will further enhance his production.
