Tristan Curless brings middle-of-the-order thunder and two-way value to ETSU
In the 2026 season, Tristan Curless emerged as a true tone-setter for East Tennessee State, hitting .329 with 25 home runs, 107 RBI, and a 1.036 OPS across his two ETSU seasons, while also earning All-SoCon First Team and ABCA All-Southeast Region First Team honors[1][2]. He flashed real takeover ability, including a .688 week with two homers and eight RBI that landed him on Baseball America’s National Team of the Week[3]. Curless also adds versatility as a LHP/1B, and his 2025 All-Defensive Team recognition suggests he’s more than just a bat—he’s a rugged, high-impact fit for teams that want power, edge, and flexibility[1][4].
