JD Whitworth gives Belmont a sneaky-on-base, timely-power spark in 2026
Whitworth has been a useful freshman infielder for Belmont in the 2026 season, showing a knack for getting on base and delivering in key moments: he had a .481 on-base percentage in early February and later produced multiple-hit games plus extra-base damage, including a two-run homer against Wofford and another solo shot vs. ETSU. He also brings a strong prep pedigree from Collierville, where he earned Rookie, Defensive, and Offensive Player of the Year honors, making him a well-rounded fit for teams that value contact, versatility, and a competitive edge.
