Carson Hodges brings utility versatility, but the bat is still searching for lift
In the 2026 season, Carson Hodges has been a glove-first utility option for The Citadel, but his offensive line has been light so far (.114 AVG, .152 OBP, .136 SLG in 23 games), so he profiles more as a depth-and-flexibility fit than an immediate middle-of-the-order answer.[1][3] What makes him worth tracking is roster versatility: a utility player can be valuable if he covers multiple spots, handles the grind, and gives a coaching staff matchup options even when the box score is quiet.[3]
