Freshman Collin Anderson has become Duke’s steady spark plug in the infield
In the 2026 season, Collin Anderson has quickly carved out a consistent starting role for Duke, slashing .261 with 6 home runs, 23 RBI, and 40 hits, while showing he can impact games with both gap power and timely contact. Duke also highlighted his clean defensive work and versatility between second base and shortstop, plus a high-energy, highlight-play style that’s already won him trust in pressure spots. He looks like a tough, twitchy middle-infield fit for a team that values athleticism, reliability, and some sneaky pop.
