Contact-First Infielder with Impressive High School Pedigree Joins St. Bonaventure
Kenny Mapes, a 2025 graduate from Wyalusing Valley High School in Pennsylvania, brings a rare combination of elite contact skills and consistency to St. Bonaventure. In the 2025-26 season, Mapes posted a .490 batting average with a .536 on-base percentage across 19 games—both well above national averages—while ranking top-2 in his region. The right-handed infielder demonstrates disciplined plate approach (minimal strikeouts) and solid exit velocity (90.7 mph max), making him a reliable offensive contributor who thrives on putting the ball in play rather than relying on power.
