Steven Kraus gives Binghamton a clutch, defense-first first base bat
Kraus is a useful depth-and-upside piece for Binghamton because, in 2025, he played 29 games with 15 starts at DH and first base, hit two home runs, drove in five runs, and delivered a pinch-hit, 2-out, 2-run homer to tie NJIT in a game the Bearcats won[1]. He also handled first base cleanly, with no errors in 35 chances and two double plays, which points to reliable infield value beyond the box score[1]. The combination of situational pop, steady defense, and experience against NCAA Regional competition makes him a fit for teams that want a composed, role-ready left-side bat[1][2].
