Brooks Simpson is a breakout freshman who brings contact, speed and gap power to Radford
In the 2026 season, Simpson has been one of Radford’s most productive hitters, batting .304 with a .413 on-base percentage and 28 hits in 31 games, while also driving in 25 runs. His signature upside is a rare blend of bat-to-ball skill and emerging extra-base impact: he followed a .625 week with Big South Freshman of the Week honors after a 5-for-5, two-homer performance at Presbyterian. Beyond the box score, he has shown poise and adaptability by contributing in the outfield, making him a high-upside fit for a team that values athletic versatility and lineup pressure.[7][3][2]
