Delaware State’s steady-leverage shortstop with a hit tool and wheels
In the 2026 season, Santino Harwood emerged as a reliable, line-drive infielder for Delaware State, hitting around .296-.297 with 46 hits, 30 runs, and 23 RBIs while earning a spot in the HBCU Swingman Classic. He stands out for his contact skill, aggressive baserunning, and crisp defense at shortstop, and he’s been praised for playing with confidence and mature energy after bouncing back from an ankle injury that ended part of his freshman year. If you want a middle-infield bat with speed, feel for the game, and real upside, he’s a strong fit.
