Arizona’s freshman spark plug is already producing like a veteran
Nate Novitske emerged in 2026 as an immediate-impact bat for Arizona, earning All-Big 12 Freshman Team honors after hitting .303 with 66 hits, 11 doubles, 5 home runs and 27 RBI in 50 games, including 19 multi-hit performances. He brings a polished, high-contact approach, pop for the middle of the infield, and a steady competitive edge that showed up in big moments—like winning MVP of Arizona’s Las Vegas tournament after going 9-for-14. If you need a young infielder/catcher who already looks battle-tested, he’s a very good fit.
