Alex LaCoste is becoming Charleston’s sneaky-dangerous middle-order bat
In the 2026 season, Charleston sophomore Alex LaCoste has hit .311 with 7 home runs, 36 RBI, and a .391 on-base percentage, and he’s been heating up with a long hitting streak plus multiple clutch games, including a five-hit, two-homer outing and a five-RBI night[3][6][15]. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound right-handed 1B/OF brings legitimate power, gap pop, and bat-to-ball consistency, while also showing some versatility and timely production that coaches love; he looks like a player who can change a game with one swing and give a lineup real thump[1][7][9].
