Keaton Laidley brings extra-base pop, clutch contact, and sneaky speed for Central Arkansas
In the 2026 season, Central Arkansas infielder Keaton Laidley has flashed real middle-of-the-order juice, including multiple homers and RBI swings in key ASUN games, plus he’s added run creation with hits, a stolen base, and even an important hit-by-pitch in pressure spots. He looks like a tough at-bat who can impact the game in more than one way: gap power, situational hitting, and enough athleticism to move the needle on the bases. For a team needing a competitive, adaptable bat with some grit, he’s the kind of player who quietly makes lineups better.
