Nico Azpilcueta brings real thump to Troy’s lineup
Azpilcueta is a senior INF/OF at Troy who entered 2026 as a preseason All-American after a 2025 season that featured a .320 average, 20 home runs, 14 doubles, and 61 RBIs, with 24th-nationally ranked power production. In 2026, his bat has been more uneven overall, but he has still flashed game-changing pop, including a pinch-hit homer at Georgia and a clutch RBI hit in the opener vs. Mercer. He’s the kind of physically strong, damage-first hitter who can change a game fast and fits best if you want middle-of-the-order upside over pure contact polish.
