A 2024 First Team All-State selection, Kaplan batted .483 with seven home runs, 43 RBI and 43 runs, compiling a .574 on-base percentage and an OPS of 1.362. He was at his best when the pressure was greatest, mashing out a .565 batting average during the postseason along with a home run and nine RBI while reaching base in better than 60 percent of his plate appearances.
