CJ Egrie’s elite speed and table-setting bat made him Holy Cross’s engine
In the 2026 season, Holy Cross outfielder CJ Egrie was the Patriot League Player of the Year and a First-Team All-League pick, finishing with a .319 average, .458 OBP, 40 stolen bases, and 38 runs scored in 40 games. He’s the kind of leadoff-style disruptor coaches love: fast, hard to contain, and productive even when he isn’t leaving the yard. His 2025 breakout showed the same profile—.308 with 35 steals—and the league’s preseason trust in him was no accident.
