Henry Ford mashed in Knoxville before heading to pro ball
In the 2026 season, Henry Ford was Tennessee’s most consistent middle-order bat, hitting .293 with 20 home runs, 57 RBIs, 51 runs and a .603 slugging percentage in 58 starts. He brought legitimate pop, run production, and lineup flexibility as an INF/OF, and he was recognized on preseason and midseason watch lists plus Baseball America’s Team of the Week. The catch: he’s more power-forward than polished-all-around, with some defensive rough edges, but if a team wants impact thump and a ready-made run producer, Ford absolutely fits the bill.
