Justin Ford’s power pops — but his 2026 season is clouded by a major leg injury
Ford showed real game-changing pop for Seton Hall in 2026, slugging a two-run homer in the Puerto Rico Challenge, but his night ended with a severe leg injury that has likely sidelined him for the season. Before that, he was an emerging utility option who logged 17 games in 2025 and flashed enough versatility to earn innings at multiple spots. The appeal here is upside: when healthy, he can inject energy, athleticism, and sudden offense into a lineup — but any team would need to factor in the uncertainty around his recovery and availability.
