High-contact freshman bat with instant value for USF
In the 2026 season, Mirza emerged as a key freshman for South Florida, hitting .356 with a .406 OBP, .508 SLG, 21 hits, 11 runs, 10 RBI, and a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage over 30 chances. His calling cards are a left-on-left swing that still produced against righties, plus real situational polish—he hit .444 with runners in scoring position and added a first collegiate homer and triple. For a team, he looks like a mature, competitive outfielder with bat-to-ball skills and clutch traits rather than just tools.
