Hunter Ray turned FDU into a launch pad in 2026
In the 2026 season, Hunter Ray emerged as one of college baseball’s most dangerous power-speed threats, hitting .345 with 32 home runs, 81 RBI, and 24 stolen bases for Fairleigh Dickinson while playing all 55 games. He pairs elite raw power with enough athleticism to punish mistakes on the bases, and his breakout earned NEC Player of the Year plus first-team All-America recognition. The one caution flag: some evaluators note a meaningful strikeout rate, so the fit is best for a team that can live with swing-and-miss in exchange for game-changing damage.
