Sam Driscoll is Lindenwood’s pesky freshman spark plug
In the 2026 season, Sam Driscoll gave Lindenwood a real jolt as a versatile OF/LHP, finishing with a .279 average, 41 hits, 25 RBIs, and six doubles while starting 39 of 44 games[1][14]. His breakout came in a monster mid-April week when he hit .727 with three homers, 10 runs, and a 1.909 slugging percentage, good enough to earn OVC Player of the Week[3][15]. The selling point is the all-around juice: he can hit, run, and bring energy without looking overwhelmed, which makes him a sneaky-good fit for a team that values left-handed upside and competitive grit[3][14].
