Axel Riess is a rangy, right-handed center fielder with speed and timely pop
In the 2026 season, Axel Riess has been a steady sophomore contributor for Dartmouth, starting in eight games and flashing multi-hit ability plus the kind of speed that shows up on the bases. He’s a 6-foot-2, 195-pound righty from Manhattan who plays CF and brings a projectable, athletic frame, with early-career evidence of gap power and a first career homer in 2025. He looks like a fit for teams that value up-the-middle defense, baserunning juice, and a player whose ceiling is still climbing.
