Joey Brenczewski brings left-right switch-hitting pop and steady first-base value for USF
In the 2026 season, Joey Brenczewski gave South Florida a useful, versatile bat-and-glove piece: he appeared in 32 games, made 18 starts at first base, hit .206 with 8 runs and 5 RBI in 63 at-bats, and reached base at a .329 clip thanks to 8 walks and 4 hit-by-pitches. His real value shows up beyond the batting average: switch-hitting flexibility, strong defensive reliability (.981 fielding percentage), and some sneaky thump, including a home run against Miami. He looks like a fit for teams wanting toughness, matchup flexibility, and dependable first-base defense.
