Eli Putnam brings middle-of-the-order pop to FSU’s infield
In the 2026 season, redshirt senior Eli Putnam has been a productive, versatile bat for Florida State, hitting .226 with 9 home runs, 32 RBI, and a .757 OPS across 52 games while splitting time between first and second base. He stands out for real game-changing power, including a ninth-inning pinch-hit homer against Miami and a three-RBI night at UNF, and his 6-foot-4 frame plus right-handed bat give the Seminoles a physical presence in the lineup. If you want a veteran infielder who can change a game with one swing, he’s your guy.
