Jose Fernandez is a middle-of-the-order force for Bethune-Cookman
In the 2026 season, redshirt junior catcher Jose Fernandez is hitting .361 with a 1.080 OPS, 12 home runs, 52 RBI, and 38 runs, giving Bethune-Cookman a legitimate impact bat in the heart of the lineup. He brings more than pop: he’s a 6-foot-3, right-handed hitter who also handled catcher and first base duties, and his earlier season work showed strong strike-zone control and dependable defense. He looks like a high-upside, run-producing fit for a team that wants offense, toughness, and versatility.
