Versatile UNC Asheville infielder with contact-and-gap pop
In the 2025 season, Canon Pierce showed useful all-around value for UNC Asheville, hitting .224 with 11 hits, 4 doubles, a homer, 6 RBI, 6 walks and 2 steals in 19 games, after a stronger 2024 season (.328 in 27 games). He’s a left-handed bat with line-drive pop, enough athleticism to chip in on the bases, and proven in-game polish—he logged a career-high 13 putouts against Presbyterian in 2025. The big question is consistency; when his bat is right, he gives a lineup mature at-bats and infield flexibility.
