Sam Finarelli brings pop and versatility to LIU’s corner-infield mix
In the 2026 season, Sam Finarelli has shown limited but real upside for LIU, including a pinch-hit solo home run for his first collegiate hit on April 3, 2026, plus early offensive production that points to a developing right-handed bat with some gap-to-pull power.[2][1] The stat line is still light, so the appeal is more about projection: corner-infield flexibility at first and third, aggressive energy, and a player who already produced in a pressure spot rather than just padding numbers in mop-up time.[1][2]
