Power-Hitting Infielder with Back-to-Back HR Surge in 2026
In the 2026 season, Chris Soeder (22, 6'3", 220 lbs) is batting .234 with 4 home runs and 27 RBI for Mississippi Valley State, recently hitting home runs in back-to-back games—a rare feat he hasn’t achieved since his freshman year. His differentiators include elite slugging power from the infield, a 27-RBI intensity level that outpaces his batting average, and a personality marked by relentless follow-through after contact. Soeder has no known injury history, plays with high intensity, and brings a Florida elite academy background (Sunshine State Elite Academy) that sharpens his defensive instincts. He’s a strong fit for teams needing power from non-power positions, especially those valuing intensity and back-to-back clutch performance over pure consistency.
