Colton Shirley gives Ohio a steady veteran bat with gap power and sneaky speed
In the 2026 season, Colton Shirley has been a reliable all-around piece for Ohio, appearing in 31 games with 25 starts while hitting .269 with a .358 on-base percentage, four doubles, two triples, a home run, and six walks. He also added 16 runs, 25 hits, and even flashed some wheels with a two-steal game at Bowling Green. The fit is clear: he brings experience, versatility, and a contact-first profile with enough extra-base juice to matter, plus solid infield defense and a grinder’s edge that coaches usually love.
