Yomar Carreras is Rutgers’ switch-hitting spark plug with pop, polish, and real MLB Draft buzz
In the 2026 season, Carreras has emerged as a high-impact middle infielder for Rutgers, backing up his strong freshman year (.255 with 5 home runs and 23 RBI in 2025) with a bigger sophomore surge, including a seven-RBI breakout at Indiana and a season line reported around .293 with four homers and 31 RBI in mid-April. He’s a switch-hitter with a line-drive approach, plus arm strength, and enough extra-base pop to change a game in one swing. The big question for a fit: he looks like a steady, intense, up-the-middle bat with upside, which is exactly the kind of player contenders love.
