Ashton Yelder brings 6-foot-3 power upside and multi-position flexibility to West Georgia
Ashton Yelder, a freshman outfielder/infielder for West Georgia in the 2026 season, arrives with a strong prep pedigree: he was rated the fourth-best third baseman and 17th-best player in Alabama by Perfect Game, and his earlier high-school production featured a .354 average, six home runs, 35 RBIs, and 22 steals in 24 attempts during the 2024 season. He projects as a physical, versatile corner bat with legit athletic tools; if he keeps sharpening the hit tool, he could be a sneaky-good fit for a team that values upside, length, and defensive flexibility.
