James Layman brings sneaky-impact speed and contact bat for Wofford
In the 2025 season, James Layman was one of Wofford’s most complete run-producers, hitting .369 with a .493 on-base percentage, 58 hits, 46 runs, 33 RBI and 23 stolen bases, then entered 2026 as a preseason all-conference pick[1][4]. He’s the kind of infielder who adds value in multiple ways: bat-to-ball consistency, pressure on pitchers with his speed, and enough defensive versatility to stay in the lineup. The one caution flag is that his 2026 batting line has been lighter so far, but the track record says he’s a high-IQ, high-motor fit who can help a team win ugly and often[2][3].
