Still just a freshman, Landis has what you call no-doubt light tower power from the left side of the batter's box. During a conference series split against Ohio Dominican at home, Landis was a one-man wrecking crew while hitting .500 (7-14) with two grand slams, a double and 11 RBI.
In one of the wildest box scores you'll ever see, Landis cleared the bases with two swings in the sixth and seventh innings to cap a Chargers' rally in an 18-14 win as the teams pounded out a combined 30 hits.
Landis displayed his pull power with towering blasts towards the storage garage out in right field, including one ball that hit the top of the roof. The corner infielder provided the highlight in a 7-run frame for the Hillsdale offense as his first round-tripper gave the Chargers a 10-5 lead.
Landis belted his second grand slam in the seventh inning after the Panthers trimmed the lead down to 11-8.
His 9 RBI in the game tied the conference record that he now shares with former Hillsdale slugger Steven Ring, who plated 9 against Kentucky Wesleyan in the spring of 2018. He went 5-for-6 at the plate in the Hillsdale win.
Landis was off to a blistering start in the COVID-shortened 2020 spring season through 18 plate appearances, batting .444 and leading the team in average at the time.
He is batting .410 this spring and is the current league leader in slugging percentage (.923), RBI (21), home runs (6), and also has a pair of sacrifice flies.
