“Cayde is a kid you hate to coach against because of his amazing skill, but he’s impossible not to like because he’s a great young man. His defense is phenomenal. His speed gives him range that players would kill for and he’s got an arm that can set the ball on fire out of his hand. His defense is outshined only by his bat. He can flat out hit the ball. Pitchers from all over the state know they can’t miss a spot when he’s up, but even if they put the ball where they want it could be, and likely will be, barreled up.”

Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound sophomore shortstop and right-handed pitcher led the Bulldogs (12-8) to the third place consolation game at the state championships this past season, batting .561 and scoring 37 runs while also driving home 18, stealing 10 bases and compiling an OPS of 1.425. In four innings on the mound, Stajcar fanned eight hitters and picked up a win. A two-time All-State selection, he saved his best for the postseason when he hit .615 with four extra-base hits, six RBI, nine runs, three steals and a 1.819 OPS in three games.
