ETSU’s Henry Ferguson is a high-contact, high-OBP infielder who’s forcing his way onto the national watch list
Ferguson entered 2026 as ETSU’s leading hitter through the first three weeks, batting .455 with 1 home run, 13 RBI, 11 walks and 6 stolen bases, which shows a rare mix of contact, patience and pressure speed. The sophomore shortstop was named to the Brooks Wallace Award Watch List, and his freshman year hinted the profile is real: he hit .308 in 23 games and finished strong in the Bucs’ lineup. He looks like a fit for teams that value disciplined at-bats, versatility in the middle infield and a player who impacts the game beyond raw power.[2][3]
