AJ Hurtado brings middle-of-the-order pop to Coppin State
In the 2026 season, Coppin State catcher Armando (AJ) Hurtado has been a real spark plug, hitting .281 with a 1.053 OPS while leading the Eagles in runs, home runs, RBI, extra-base hits, slugging, and on-base percentage; he also tied a school record with seven RBI in a 4-for-4 game against Mercyhurst and was selected for the HBCU Swingman Classic. The profile here is obvious: power, patience, and clutch damage, plus enough offensive value to make him more than just a backstop. If your team wants a catcher who can change a game with one swing, Hurtado is absolutely worth the look.
