Matt Evans brings a scrappy, high-upside infield bat to ETSU
In the 2026 season, ETSU freshman infielder Matt Evans appeared in 16 games with 12 starts, hit .121, and delivered his best outing on March 8 against James Madison, going 3-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored[1][2]. He also scored four runs and stole two bases, hinting at playable speed and defensive flexibility at shortstop and second base[1]. A decorated prep hitter who hit .522 in high school, Evans looks like a contact-first, energetic infielder with room to grow; the fit depends on whether a team wants a developmental middle-infield piece who can impact the game beyond the box score[1][6].
