Cole Kitchens brings middle-of-the-order pop to Nebraska
In the 2026 season, Cole Kitchens has quickly looked like a lineup stabilizer for Nebraska, flashing extra-base power and run production from the infield while batting .331 in his first season with the Huskers. He arrived after leading the 2025 Ohio Valley Conference in batting average (.371), hits (82), and RBI (60) at Southern Indiana, and his profile screams polished hitter with impact contact, not just raw thump. If your team wants a tough, productive right-handed bat who has already delivered in big spots, Kitchens is a very strong fit.
