Riley Ames brings speed, contact, and pressure baseball to Mercyhurst
In the 2026 season, Mercyhurst outfielder Riley Ames has been a table-setter: he was cited as the Lakers’ leader with a .291 average, 16 stolen bases, nine RBIs, three doubles, and two home runs, while game recaps repeatedly show him drawing walks, bunting for hits, and turning on the jets on the basepaths[1][2][4]. The appeal is obvious—he plays with energy, creates run-scoring chances without needing a big swing, and can steal extra bases when the defense least expects it, which makes him a strong fit for teams that value speed, discipline, and chaos over loud power[1][2][4].
