Alex Lodise was selected 60th overall by the Atlanta Braves in the 2025 MLB Draft. He is a shortstop with notable power potential, measured at 6'1" and 189 lbs. Ranked 26th by Baseball America and 43rd by MLB Pipeline, Lodise is described as a solid all-around player. His defensively sound skills include a strong arm, though he may not stand out at shortstop. While his hitting approach is under question, he is viewed as a player who could become a productive regular and possibly take over the starting shortstop position in the future.
Alex Lodise isn't the guy with the loudest tools, but he is a solid all around player with a history of production at a high level of competition. He brings above average power with a fringy hit tool that with work could make him a solid hitting shortstop.
Defensively he's a solid runner and defender with a big arm that won't stand out at short but can play the position effectively.
Lodise could be targeted to take over the starting shortstop position in a couple of years as long as he can hit enough to stick.
The Atlanta Braves have irked fans by not taking any position players, and now they've double dipped the shortstop position. Lodise is a classic fit for the Braves.
