Tomas Cernius is Princeton’s lefty bat to watch in 2026
The 2026 season shows Tomas Cernius as Princeton’s most reliable everyday offensive spark, pairing a .317 batting average with 44 hits, 20 runs, seven doubles, 24 RBIs and five home runs through the regular season finale[4]. The freshman first baseman/outfielder has already flashed real impact pop in big moments—multiple RBI homers and clutch doubles—while his 6-foot-4, 210-pound left-handed profile gives the Tigers a physical middle-of-the-order look that’s hard to ignore[2][3][7]. He looks like a fit for teams wanting power upside, run production and a bat that’s already producing against Ivy League pitching[1][4].
