Lodise is a 5-foot-11, 180-pound shortstop who spent two years with Division II Augusta (Ga.), where he established a track record as a high-contact hitter before transferring to Georgia Tech in 2025. Lodise exploded onto the ACC scene and hit for much more power than scouts expected, finishing with a .327/.427/.664 line with 16 home runs, a 17.6% strikeout rate and a 12.7% walk rate. He was one of the better hitters in the conference along with his cousin Alex Lodise, a shortstop for Florida State. Despite Kyle Lodise’s power surge in 2025, many scouts expect him to be a hit-over-power bat at the next level. He’s a patient hitter who doesn’t expand the zone frequently but can get a bit passive on pitches in the middle of the zone. Lodise makes plenty of contact with a simple righthanded swing, but almost all of his home run damage came against pitches under 92 mph. His best tool is his running ability. He’s a plus runner who went 13-for-13 on the bases with Georgia Tech and went 57-for-63 (90.1%) in his college career. He has a chance to stick at shortstop as an average, reliable defender but could also move to second base. Lodise is a split-camp player who is loved by model-heavy teams and viewed more skeptically by those who value physical tools.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 40 | Run:55 | Field: 50 | Arm: 45.
