Evan Rogers is giving New Orleans a steady, high-contact infield bat
In the 2026 season, Evan Rogers has been one of New Orleans’ most reliable run producers and table-setters, batting .321 with 29 RBI, seven doubles, three homers, and 21 multi-hit games, while also flashing speed with nine stolen bases in 13 tries[1][3]. He’s shown he can impact games in bunches — including a four-RBI night against Jackson State and a 3-for-5, two-RBI showing against Southern Miss[4][6][11]. The fit is clear: he brings dependable contact, situational hitting, and enough athleticism to keep defenses honest, even if his game is more line-drive, pressure-heavy than loud-tool flashy[2][9].
