Will Burgess is a versatile Charleston infielder with sneaky value in the run game
In the 2026 season, redshirt freshman Will Burgess has flashed as a contact-first INF for Charleston, hitting .152 with a .170 OBP and .217 SLG through 17 games, while also contributing across the bases and defense. His value shows up in the little things: he has delivered a first career hit, a triple, an RBI single, and a sacrifice bunt in key moments, which hints at a player coaches can trust for situational baseball. At 6-foot-3, he brings projectable size and some upside even if the bat is still developing.
