Kaden Frei brings Purdue a high-IQ, speed-first middle-infield profile
Kaden Frei enters Purdue in the 2026 season as a freshman infielder with a reputation for elite instincts, quick-twitch speed, and disruptive baserunning. Purdue’s roster lists him at 5-foot-9, 175 pounds, and the Boilermakers’ bio says he batted .388 with 21 RBI and 23 stolen bases in 80 at-bats as a senior at Seton Hall Prep, helping power a 22-2 team and earning selection to the 2024 Prep Baseball Futures Games. If a team wants an energetic, defense-minded grinder who can create pressure on the bases, he fits the mold nicely.
