Armani Newton brings left-handed pop, run production, and veteran versatility to Bethune-Cookman
In the 2025 season, Armani Newton emerged as a legit middle-of-the-order spark for Bethune-Cookman, hitting .267 with 9 home runs, 39 hits, 23 RBI, 39 runs, and a .921 OPS while also stealing 7 bases and posting a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage[1][2]. He was named to the preseason SWAC Second Team after proving he can impact games with power, plate discipline, and defensive flexibility at outfield/first base[6]. For a team, that combo says “plug-and-play offense with edge,” especially from a 6-foot-2 left-handed bat who can change a game fast[2][8].
