Pete Daniel was Virginia Tech’s bat-to-ball spark plug in 2026
In the 2026 season, Virginia Tech junior infielder Pete Daniel paced the Hokies with a .335 batting average and repeatedly delivered in big spots, including a four-hit game that helped power an extra-inning win over No. 23 Boston College. He looks like a high-contact, table-setting infielder who can handle tougher ACC competition after transferring from Belmont, where he had already shown a strong offensive track record and some speed. If a team wants an experienced, competitive middle-infield bat who can keep the offense moving, Daniel is the kind of sneaky-good fit that quietly wins games.
