Preseason All-American bat still showing pop for Troy
Nico Azpilcueta entered 2026 as an NCBWA Preseason First-Team All-American after crushing 20 home runs at Stony Brook in the previous season, and Troy labeled him one of the Sun Belt’s top portal additions. In the 2026 season, he opened with immediate impact, including a two-hit, double, RBI debut and an early home run, then finished with limited but real power production for the Trojans. He fits a team that wants right-handed thump, veteran edge, and a bat with upside—even if the 2026 line was more solid than loud.
