Preston Newberry is UIW’s line-drive engine in the outfield
In the 2026 season, Preston Newberry emerged as Incarnate Word’s most complete table-setter, leading the team with a .340 average, 46 runs, 65 hits, and 10 doubles while adding 10 homers and 32 RBIs in 44 starts. He also hit .361 in conference play and was especially dangerous leadoff, pairing contact, speed, and gap power with a .410 on-base profile. The knock-on him? None, really—he looks like a high-motor, offense-first outfielder who can lengthen a lineup and win games with pressure, not just pop.
