Jack Herring is ECU’s steady bat and on-base machine in 2026
In the 2026 season, Jack Herring emerged as one of East Carolina’s most complete hitters, leading the Pirates in batting average (.344), on-base percentage (.485), OPS (1.050), RBI (51), doubles (17), walks (54) and hits (72), while also carrying a 54-game on-base streak and earning second-team all-conference honors. He’s more than a stats line: he brings veteran poise, switch-hitting flexibility, and a knack for big at-bats, plus the kind of everyday reliability that coaches love and opponents hate.
