Rutgers’ veteran lefty bat brings homegrown grit and plug-and-play infield value
Kevin Novobilsky enters the 2026 Rutgers roster as a graduate-student INF from Ocean Township, New Jersey, bringing a local, high-motor presence and a left-handed bat that adds lineup flexibility. Rutgers highlighted that he wanted to come back home “to play baseball at the highest level possible,” which fits the profile of a mature, team-first transfer with experience at UNC Wilmington and Stockton. He’s a good fit if you want leadership, contact-oriented versatility, and a player whose value goes beyond the stat line.
