Coltin Quagliano is Duke’s defensive spark plug at third base
In the 2026 season, graduate infielder Coltin Quagliano stood out as Duke’s top defensive infielder, ranking nationally in defensive runs saved and flashing elite range, quick hands, and a cannon-forcing, off-balance arm that keeps him in the lineup almost every day.[1][2] He also chipped in timely offense, including a 413-foot three-run homer in Duke’s 7-3 Senior Day win, which reinforces the value: dependable glove, gritty at-bats, and a veteran presence that fits a contender looking for stability and edge.[4]
