Matt DeShiro is emerging as Merrimack’s lineup sparkplug at second base
In the 2026 season, Matt DeShiro has developed into a high-impact middle infielder for Merrimack, hitting .321 with 9 home runs, 47 RBIs, 61 runs, and 70 hits, while earning All-MAAC First Team recognition. He stands out for left-handed contact bat, extra-base pop, and run production from a premium defensive position, and recent game notes show he’s been coming through in key moments with multi-hit performances and even a grand slam. If you want an infielder who can hit for average, drive the ball, and keep pressure on pitchers, he looks like a strong fit.
