Kenneth Rhein is Seattle U’s early-season spark plug at the infield corner
In the 2026 season, Kenneth Rhein arrived from Cochise College and immediately gave Seattle U a jolt, opening hot with a 6-for-7 start, four doubles, two RBI, and four walks in the Redhawks’ first series. He looks like a tough, contact-oriented infielder who can set the tone at the top of the order and create pressure with extra-base pop, not just empty singles. Seattle U has leaned on him for everyday infield work, and his early production suggests a player who fits a lineup needing energy, consistency, and a competitive edge.
