Josh Stonehouse is off to a loud start for Xavier in 2026
The freshman left-handed bat has already made noise for Xavier in the 2026 season, opening with a .500 weekend, six hits, five runs scored, and a first collegiate home run to earn BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll recognition. He’s a big-bodied 6-1, 230-pound infielder/first baseman with a simple profile that plays: disciplined contact, real left-handed pop, and early lineup trust in the two-hole. Beyond the box score, Xavier lists him as a four-year varsity player and a multi-sport competitor, which usually translates to edge and maturity. If a team wants a physical bat with upside, he’s worth a close look.
