Mason Barth brings steady contact, sneaky pop, and freshman composure for Notre Dame
In the 2026 season, Notre Dame infielder Mason Barth showed legit everyday value as a freshman: .250 average, .365 slugging, .768 OPS, 38 hits, 33 runs, 4 home runs, 25 RBI, 6 stolen bases, and 28 walks across 49 games, with 10 multi-hit games and a seven-game hit streak. He’s more than a stat line, though — the right-handed hitter has a track record of winning, piles up competitive at-bats, and plays with the kind of calm, reliable presence that makes coaches trust him early. A smart fit if a team wants a gritty, versatile INF who can get on base and keep the line moving.
