Buddy King is a 2023 SS/RHP, 2B, 3B with a 5-9 135 lb. frame from Gilbert, AZ who attends Highland. Ran a 7.41-second sixty-yard dash. Primary shortstop with a young frame that has plenty of room to fill out and add strength. Has active footwork in the infield, fielding out front with developing glove actions. Has developing arm strength, making throws across the diamond at 71 miles per hour. Right-handed hitter that starts from a wide base, with a big leg lift trigger and developing shift to contact.

Secondary right-handed pitcher that starts from the windup with a small side step into a leg lift that reaches the chest. Good direction down the mound, landing online with a long and loose arm action from an over top slot. Repeats the operation well and commands the zone with the fastball at 69-73 miles per hour.
