Nick Rubino flashing early juice for Wake Forest
Nick Rubino, a 6-foot-2 junior infielder for Wake Forest, has given the Demon Deacons a small-but-promising sample of impact bat this spring, going 2-for-4 with a double and 2 RBI in Wake Forest’s 16-6 win over Davidson in the 2026 season. He’s a right-handed infielder with a compact early stat line (.500 average in limited action), and the buzz is simple: he’s already producing in run-scoring spots, which hints at bat-to-ball feel and poise rather than empty-tool noise. Small sample caveat? Absolutely. But if you want a young, versatile infielder with some pop in the tank, Rubino is worth a closer look.
