Braden Connors is a clutch, middle-of-the-order bat with real postseason juice for Holy Cross
In the 2026 season, Braden Connors has given Holy Cross a dangerous first-base bat, hitting .297 with a .834 OPS and 49 hits, while flashing extra-base pop with 9 doubles, 4 homers, and 32 RBI. He also delivered in the Patriot League tournament, where he hit .615 with a 1.797 OPS and drove in six runs, which screams big-moment production. What makes him interesting: he’s not just a stat line; he looks like a tough, momentum-friendly hitter who can punish mistakes and settle in under pressure. For a team, that’s the kind of low-drama, high-upside piece that plays.
