Jason Bello is Dayton’s breakout power infielder, and the bat is doing the talking
In the 2026 season, Jason Bello emerged as a real difference-maker for Dayton: he started 53 of 54 games, posted a .286/.404/.617 slash line, led the Flyers with 18 home runs and 56 RBIs, and earned First Team All-Atlantic 10 honors plus Freshman All-America recognition. Beyond the numbers, the separation is the power-speed-of-impact profile: he can change a game with one swing, drew enough attention to set Dayton’s single-season home run record, and looks like a middle-of-the-order fit for a team that wants a fearless, high-upside corner infielder.
