Eric Maisonet gives Mizzou a switch-hitting spark in the infield
In the 2026 season, Maisonet has been a steady, impactful starter for Missouri, hitting .310 early in the year with power flashes, nine RBI, and a .462 on-base clip through his first 11 games, while also earning a Brooks Wallace Award watch-list nod as one of the nation’s top shortstops[2][6]. He brings a switch-hitting profile, clutch pop, and enough defensive reliability to hold down the middle infield, making him a fit for teams that value athleticism, versatility, and a player who seems to keep showing up in big moments[1][4][5].
