Miguel Hugas gives Mercer a durable Saturday ace with pro-sized upside
Miguel Hugas has been one of Mercer’s most dependable arms in the 2026 season, working as the Bears’ Saturday starter and finishing the year 9-2 with a team-high 77.1 innings and 56 strikeouts while earning SoCon Pitcher of the Week honors. He’s a 6-foot-3, 215-pound, switch-hitting righty from Caracas who attacks like a workhorse and has shown he can handle volume, highlighted by an eight-inning, two-run outing against Tennessee Tech in March 2026. The one caution flag: his 2026 line also included a 6.17 ERA, so the appeal is more “bankable innings and competitive toughness” than pure dominance.
