Andy Chapa is giving UTRGV a versatile, clutch bat with sneaky pop
In the 2026 season, UTRGV utility man Andy Chapa has been a useful all-around spark: he’s batting .256 with a .870 OPS, has driven in 8 runs, and already produced a first career home run plus a 397-foot shot, showing real gap-to-over-the-fence juice. He’s also drawn early-platoon looks in the lineup and kept showing up in key moments, including RBI hits and a 3-RBI game at Sam Houston. If your team wants a versatile, energetic hitter who can grind at-bats and make loud contact, Chapa fits the bill.
