Elite Shortstop with Historic 2025 Season Transfers to UCF
Lodise just completed a remarkable 2025 season at Florida State as the ACC Player of the Year and ACC Defensive Player of the Year. The 19-year-old shortstop ranked nationally in hits (10th, 92), batting average (11th, .405), and total bases (12th, 167), while maintaining a stellar .976 fielding percentage with just five errors in 205 chances. His differentiators include elite consistency—hitting safely in 46 of 55 games—and clutch performance, including a walk-off grand slam that completed the cycle against Florida. Now at UCF, Lodise brings proven two-way excellence: a high-contact, gap-to-gap hitter with plus defense and leadership qualities that make him an immediate impact player for any program seeking a franchise shortstop.
