Alex Mendes is Mount St. Mary’s spark plug: contact, speed, and run production
In the 2026 season, Alex Mendes has emerged as a true table-setter with pop, starting all 48 games and earning First Team All-MAAC honors as a utility player after hitting .321 with 9 home runs, 47 RBI, a .429 on-base percentage, and a program-record 38 stolen bases in 39 tries[1]. The biggest appeal is his all-around offensive pressure: he can beat you with contact, power, walks, hit-by-pitches, and elite baserunning, which makes him a fit for teams that value versatility, edge, and constant stress on pitchers[1].
