Noah Bufford brings pop and speed to Mississippi Valley State
Noah Bufford’s 2026 profile is all about upside: a right-handed outfielder with extra-base punch, athleticism, and sneaky value on the bases. In 2025, he hit .275 with 4 home runs, 12 RBIs, 3 doubles, 3 stolen bases, and a .942 OPS in 22 games, and Mississippi Valley State’s preview noted a strong career resume of .354 batting with 19 steals over 41 games.[2] He’s already shown game-changing power with a two-run homer in February 2026, and scouting notes point to him earning a starting role thanks to his offensive juice and trust from the staff.[1][5]
