Ben Cleary is Santa Clara’s steady, high-contact infield bat with a legit pro profile
In the 2026 season, Ben Cleary was a second-team All-WCC infielder for Santa Clara, hitting .358/.452/.500 with 10 doubles, 30 RBIs, 39 runs, and 8 steals in 49 games, while bringing reliable defense at second base and shortstop. He’s the kind of player coaches love: everyday availability, advanced bat-to-ball skills, strong on-base feel, and a calm, efficient infield game. He’s also been durable and productive across three college seasons, which makes him a safe fit for teams looking for a polished, low-drama glue guy with upside.
