athletic freshman OF with room to grow, but real on-base instincts
In the 2026 season, Missouri freshman outfielder Leo Humbert appeared in 13 games with seven starts, posted a .118 average, reached base enough to draw seven walks, scored seven runs, and handled his chances cleanly in the field. He looks like a classic projection play: a 6-0, 195-pound left-handed hitter with a strong prep résumé and a knack for impacting games beyond the box score, especially by getting on base and bringing energy. The bat is still developing, but the profile says “future contributor,” not “finished product.”
