I disagree. He is definitely one the best eighth graders in the state. Don't be mad because Dakota Prairie beat New Rockford 14-0 in the Red Willow Tournament and he was 3-3 with 7 RBI's. He will definitely prove all summer long that he is one of the best up coming players in the state. I garauntee he will push for an all region spot next year for Midkota as a freshman. The thing that makes that statement the most ignorant thing to say is the "speed" statement. Speed is not Austin's game, he is a smart player that hits to all parts of the field from the left side of the plate. He is a great contact hitter that does what is necessary to move runners into scoring position or drive them in.
