Wyatt Hanoian has been Air Force’s breakout bat and a transfer portal prize
In the 2026 season, Wyatt Hanoian emerged as one of the Mountain West’s most productive freshmen, earning Freshman of the Year after hitting .357 with a .498 OBP, 6 homers, 14 doubles, 4 triples, and 49 RBIs for Air Force.[1][4][9] He stands out for elite bat-to-ball control and strike-zone discipline, walking 32 times while striking out only 21, and he brought top-of-the-order value plus middle-of-the-order impact with a 33-game reach-base streak and multiple weekly conference honors.[4][8][11] For a team, he looks like an immediate plug-and-play infielder with high on-base skills, toughness, and proven run production—basically, the kind of bat that makes pitchers sigh a little.[4][8][14]
