Marcus Nolen is giving Fresno State a freshman power bat with real lift and run production
In the 2026 season, Fresno State freshman outfielder Marcus Nolen has been a legit spark plug, hitting .264 with a .329 OBP, .492 SLG, 10 home runs, and 41 RBI in 53 games, while already showing he can change a game with extra-base power and clutch damage.[1][2] He announced himself with a grand slam early in the season and has also delivered impact hits like a three-run homer, which suggests a hitter who plays with confidence and isn’t shy about the big moment.[3][4] At 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, the Fresno native brings a physical, middle-of-the-order profile that makes him a strong fit if a team wants upside, thump, and a local kid with momentum.[2][12]
