Ryder Dykstra brings a veteran hitter’s feel and timely pop to CBU
In the 2026 season, Ryder Dykstra has shown he can impact a game in a lot of ways: he delivered a 4-RBI outing against Harvard, added an RBI sacrifice fly against UC Riverside, and even left the yard against UCSB, which fits the “advanced feel for hitting” CBU highlighted when he joined the program. At 6-0, 195, he looks like a polished, mature OF bat who gives California Baptist lineup flexibility and run-production upside—exactly the kind of contact-first, situationally aware piece contenders love.
