AJ Beltre’s two-way upside makes him a sneaky Toreros weapon
AJ Beltre is a versatile San Diego infielder/right-handed pitcher with real value because he can impact the game on both sides of the ball. In 2025, he earned All-WCC Freshman Team honors after appearing in 41 games and making 40 starts at third base, and he also flashed two-way potential by pitching in limited action; in 2026, his season was slowed by injury, but he still opened hot, hitting .455 (5-for-11) in San Diego’s first three games at Charlotte. What stands out is the combo of baseball IQ, pedigree, and adaptability: he can help a team as a bat, a defender, and emergency pitching depth.
