Breaking down UM Baseball freshmen for the upcoming 2026 season

[Sebastian Font]

When one looks at Miami’s 2025 run that fell just short of Omaha, the moment the momentum turned for the better is clear — when freshmen arms AJ Ciscar and Tate DeRias were elevated to starters. The Hurricanes have a long track record of boasting Freshman All-Americans, with both Ciscar and junior Daniel Cuvet taking the honors home the last two years.

It's also that they're blocked at the position. I'm still very high on those guys for the future, but their instant impact won't be as felt

Thanks for putting this together Sebastian

Yea thats what i meant by id imagine thats a good sign. When you have high talent players that cant see the field, typically means you have good talent on the team.

It would be an incredible story if Lonzo LJ Drummond can make an impact this season. Just two years ago, when he committed to Miami, he was 6'2 160 pounds, throwing 81 mph. He also reclassed from 2026 to 2025. Great eval by Jonathan and the staff

Edgardo's team from Puerto Rico was in town against FIU last Wednesday, so I just asked the HC if he knew who the commit was since he was from Puerto Rico, and to say I was surprised was an understatement.


Yesterday we landed a commitment on 3/26/24 4:20pm

I would add Jailen Watkins for base running purposes. I expect him to get some PT in base running situations

He would've been my honorable mention, I love the way he plays

I would have gave greenhouse his reps but Watkins was faster than him by 0.10 in the 60 and he has been hitting and playing better defense than greenhouse. We need more out of greenhouse. He's sophomore eligible next year.
