School: Basic (Nev.) HS. Committed: Southern California. Age At Draft: 18.8
Southisene has been one of the big up-arrow players from the 2025 high school class throughout the 2024 spring and summer seasons. He’s the brother of Ty Southisene, the Cubs’ fourth-round pick in 2024, with Tate hitting for a higher OBP and slugging percentage than Ty as high school teammates in the 2024 spring. Both players have good hand-eye coordination, and while there are a lot of moving parts to Tate’s swing, it has good sequence and he’s able to use his whole body to generate bat speed and maximize his power. Southisene starts with his hands at his waist, brings them up to his shoulders while loading with a leg kick, then fires the barrel forward. There’s a lot of stretch and torque to his swing that generates high-end exit velocities for his age with solid bat-to-ball skills. He typically doesn’t stray much outside the strike zone. Southisene has experience in the infield and outfield. He’s a tick above-average runner with good actions at shortstop, a quick release and an easy plus arm. -
