Southern Miss’s steady, power-contact spark in the outfield
Joey Urban was a 2026 Sun Belt standout for Southern Miss, hitting .320 with 15 home runs, 55 RBI, and 78 hits while starting all 61 games; he was also named Sun Belt Tournament Most Outstanding Player and earned weekly conference honors after multi-hit, impact weeks. What makes him pop isn’t just the bat speed—he combines solid on-base skills, gap power, and a clutch streaky feel, plus the kind of competitive edge that showed up in big moments against top competition. He’s a polished, productive, right-handed bat who looks like a fit for teams wanting reliability with real pop.
