Noel Rivera is Marist’s switchboard at the hot corner, piling up hits and runs
In the 2026 season, Noel Rivera has been one of Marist’s most reliable bats, hitting .300 with 65 hits, 35 RBI, 51 runs, 26 walks, and 27 stolen bases while starting every game[1][2]. The big differentiator is his all-around impact: he’s not just a contact hitter, he brings speed, run creation, and extra-base pop, plus enough versatility to handle the infield with confidence[1][2]. After earning All-MAAC Rookie Team honors in 2025, he looks like a high-energy, lineup-stabilizing fit for teams that value hustle, pressure, and steady production[1][2].
