AJ Brotz is Marist’s steady senior bat and table-setter
In the 2026 season, AJ Brotz delivered a polished all-around year for Marist, hitting .315 with a .370 on-base percentage, 70 hits, 33 RBIs, 13 doubles, and 3 triples while starting every game he played. He also earned Second-Team All-MAAC honors and was named to the MAAC All-Championship Team, which lines up with the eye test: a reliable right-handed infielder who brings contact, gap power, and consistency. Brotz looks like the kind of grinder coaches trust in big spots—productive, tough, and built for winning baseball.
