Julian Irizarry is giving Pitt steady left-handed contact and reliable outfield defense
In the 2026 season, Julian Irizarry hit .280 with a .381 on-base percentage, 28 hits, 14 RBI, and 7 doubles for Pittsburgh, backing up his .304 freshman season in 2025 with more plate discipline and enough pop to matter from the left side. He stands out for being a high-contact, table-setting outfielder who also earned praise for diving, run-saving plays in right field and enough polish to keep his bat in the lineup. If you want a dependable, scrappy, two-way role player who brings energy and defensive value, he fits nicely.
