Gabe Natividad is Winthrop’s table-setter with top-tier on-base juice
In the 2025 season, Gabe Natividad hit .347 with a .486 on-base percentage, 14 doubles, 6 homers, 44 RBIs, 71 runs, and 29 walks in 60 games, and he opened 2026 as a preseason Big South standout ranked by D1Baseball as the No. 19 second baseman nationally and No. 4 among mid-major second basemen.[2][5] What makes him appealing is the blend: disciplined strike-zone control, gap power, and the kind of dependable infield presence that translates to winning baseball; his background also notes a 5A Defensive Player of the Year honor in Nevada, which hints at real defensive polish.[1][3]
