Ryan Johnston is a glove-first freshman with real infield upside
In the 2026 season, Ryan Johnston appeared in 39 games and started 38 for Seton Hall, batting .237 with 17 RBI while flashing steady infield value with 321 putouts and a perfect .1000 fielding percentage in the stats provided. His calling card is versatility and competitive edge: at Trumbull High School, he was a multi-sport captain, a two-time All-Conference infielder, and a standout baserunner who stole 23 bags as a junior. He looks like a solid fit for a program that wants reliable defense, athleticism, and a grinder’s mentality.
