FAU’s Daniel Machado: redshirted infielder with a polished left-handed bat and a winning pedigree
Daniel Machado is a 6-foot-1 switch-hitting infielder at Florida Atlantic who redshirted in 2026, so his game is still in the build phase, but his prep resume pops: he hit .442 as a senior at Archbishop McCarthy and earned 2025 5A-15 Player of the Year honors. He stands out for versatility, contact skill, and a mature baseball background, plus he’s already getting summer reps with Bethesda’s Big Train. If you want an upside infield piece with bat-to-ball traits and room to grow, he’s a name to keep on the radar.
