NC State’s Mikey Ryan is turning freshman flashes into everyday production
In the 2026 season, Mikey Ryan has emerged as a legit lineup spark for NC State, hitting .342 with a .436 on-base percentage, .595 slugging, 9 home runs, and 34 RBI while starting nearly every game. The appeal is more than the numbers: reports describe him as a high-upside, right-handed infielder with a strong on-base approach, pop, and enough versatility to compete for the shortstop job. He’s also been praised as one of the better shortstop prospects in Louisiana, which makes him a fit for teams wanting youthful upside with real middle-infield power.
