Daniel Patterson is Pepperdine’s late-game bat with serious thump
In the 2026 season, graduate infielder Daniel Patterson has been one of Pepperdine’s most reliable offensive anchors, leading the Waves in home runs and batting near the top of the lineup while delivering multiple clutch, game-changing hits—including a walk-off homer against Yale and another ninth-inning blast to beat CSUN. He’s a right-handed hitter with pop, strength, and a proven knack for pressure moments; the kind of veteran bat that can change a game in one swing. If you want a competitive, power-first INF who brings leadership and edge, Patterson absolutely fits the bill.
