Kelvyn Paulino Jr. brings pop, bat-to-ball feel, and legit freshman upside
In the 2026 season, Kelvyn Paulino Jr. flashed why he was a top-55 recruit, hitting around .275-.276 with 1 home run, 6 doubles, 2 triples, and 21 RBI in 32-35 games for Florida State. He’s a right-handed infielder with real extra-base juice, enough strike-zone control to keep the floor playable, and enough pop to change innings when he catches one. The big-picture fit: a versatile, high-upside bat who looked like a future impact college hitter, though he has already entered the transfer portal and is now headed to Indiana.
